Manchester United reportedly interviewed a candidate for two slightly different jobs at different dates but never kept a record of their first meeting.

According to The Athletic, due to the organization's apparent level of disarray and breakdown in communication, the candidate appeared to be a little perplexed. As a result, the second meeting effectively required a re-start of the entire process.

This candidate and the role they were applying for has been left unnamed in the report, but it just shows how much Man Utd have been getting wrong at a very basic level for some time now.

This won’t come as a surprise to too many United fans who have become disgruntled by the running of the club under the Glazer family.

Meanwhile, United now need to focus on on-the-pitch matters as they prepare to take on Liverpool in a big game at Old Trafford this evening.

Erik ten Hag has not made the best start with MUFC since becoming manager, losing the club’s first two league games of the season, 2-1 at home to Brighton and 4-0 away to Brentford.
