#3 Appoint a director of football
While the concept of a director of football might be alien to the English game, it has very much gained a lot of traction on mainland Europe, with numerous clubs in Italy, the Netherlands and Germany having someone in this post.

A lot of people might be scratching their heads and wondering exactly what a director of football is and what his job description entails, but in essence, he/she is someone tasked with the duty of assisting the manager in all football related matters that don’t have to do with tactics.
It is the director of football’s job to join hands or heads with the manager and draw up an ideal profile of players who would fit into their playing system, going all out to get the best deals on such players, while the manager focuses on more mundane tasks like motivating the players and bringing up the tactical systems.
The club seem to be interested in towing this path as a number of names have been bandied about as potentially the next director of football at Old Trafford, with former players Rio Ferdinand and Edwin Van der Sar among the strongest links and if appointed, the director of football would undoubtedly make Solskjaer's life much easier as United manager.
