Manchester United have appointed Omar Berrada as the new Chief Executive Officer, replacing Richard Arnold permanently.
He is expected to take charge at the end of the current season, with Patrick Stewart as acting CEO till then.
Berrada boasts an impressive list of qualifications with Manchester City and Barcelona over the years. It's crazy that Man United have even pulled off making an appointment like this.
However, Berrada wasn't always a fan of the Red Devils as evidenced by his past tweets.
Back in 2013, for example, Berrada posted: "Watching the Man Utd vs Bayern 1999 UCL final on ESPN Classic. I had forgotten how much Bayern really deserved to win that match."
The following year, he took a shot at Man United's troubles at the time shortly after Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement. He tweeted: "Manchester United: How did they get into this mess?"
That's not all - back in 2012, Omar was gleefully cheering on Chelsea in our 3-3 draw. During the game, he said: "Stuck at the airport 'cause of snow delays. Killing time watching Man United vs Chelsea on my iPad via Sky go. And hoping for a ManU loss..."
Incidentally, Fernando Torres scored the second goal for Chelsea. And shortly after, Omar posted again: "Goal! Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United. Oh yeah! Viva la Spanish Connection!"
And in 2012, he took a shot at Man United for losing 3-0 to Newcastle. He tweeted: "Good timing for Virgin Money to start shirt sponsorship with Newcastle. 3-0 win vs Manchester United."
His personal feelings for Man United aside, Berrada seems like a highly qualified and experienced CEO - which is exactly the need of the hour.
We wish him the best and maybe hope he changes his mind about the club.
