MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United has announced Omar Berrada as its new chief executive after raiding rival Manchester City in a dramatic statement of intent. Man United had been looking for a successor to Richard Arnold, who left the club in November, and Berrada appears to fit the bill following his success both on and off the field with City Football Group. Berrada has been at Man City for nearly a decade, most recently as the chief football operations officer. United released a statement Saturday night saying it's "determined to put football and performance on the pitch back at the heart of everything we do." It added that "Omar's appointment represents the first step on this journey."
