Appoint Walsh, Ferguson tells Man United

Sir Alex Ferguson has urged Manchester United to appoint Steve Walsh in a consultancy role to help with structural changes at the club, Sky Sports News understands.

Sir Alex recommended him for a consultancy role at Old Trafford as the club look to overhaul their talent spotting and talent development strategy.

Walsh, 54. was head of recruitment at Leicester when they upset the odds to win the 2015/16 Premier League title.
