# Manchester United: Antero Henrique links have Red Devils supporters up in arms

**According to a report from [TuttomercatoWeb.com](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/calcio-estero/tmw-manchester-utd-puo-arrivare-antero-henrique-come-uomo-mercato-1342354), Manchester United are currently negotiating with ex-PSG transfer specialist Antero Henrique to become the Red Devils’ director of football – prompting outrage from a section of supporters.**

Henrique, who left PSG’s director of football role [last June](https://www.euronews.com/2019/06/14/sports-director-henrique-leaves-psg-leonardo-expected-to-return) by mutual agreement after two years at the helm, was in charge of some startling transfers during his time at the French champions – overseeing the record-breaking [£200 million move](https://www.goal.com/en/news/leonardo-returns-to-psg-to-replace-henrique-as-sporting/16rgdak5m6cdf15csenehs4hux) for Neymar in 2017 as well as [completing a deal](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/3388743/psg-trigger-kylian-mbappes-permanent-transfer-from-monaco) to bring sensation Kylian Mbappe to the Parc des Princes.

Now, it appears United could be moving to bring his expertise in huge transfers to Old Trafford – with vice-chairman Ed Woodward currently in charge of that aspect of the club. However, even though his resume appears impressive, a lot of Red Devils fans have been sceptical over whether he is the right appointment – with one supporter suggesting that he is in fact ‘[worse than Woodward](https://twitter.com/ffsbrads/status/1221863001109794819?s=21)‘.

So far, United have failed to land any reported top-tier January acquisitions, leading to Woodward coming under scrutiny from a large section of the fan base. Find all of their best comments surrounding the Henrique rumour down below.

> UTD are in serious trouble if they hire this fool. Most probably a plot from Ed and the Glazers to bring in a reject so that they can sack him a year later and no one will be demanding a DOF again.
