Omar Berrada brings a wealth of experience in executive football within the European landscape. His arrival is anticipated to infuse the club with a blend of perfection and commercial expertise. With a proven track record of successful leadership and a genuine passion for driving positive change, Omar is expected to play a pivotal role in steering Manchester United towards a brighter future.
Presently serving as the Chief Football Operations Officer at the City Football Group, where he oversees operations for 11 clubs across five continents, Omar has previously held senior roles at Barcelona. His extensive background in football administration positions him well to contribute to Manchester United’s quest for success on both the domestic and international fronts.

Manchester United is confident that Omar Berrada’s presence will significantly contribute to realizing this goal. The aim is to restore a sense of love, passion, enthusiasm, heartfelt joy, and dedication within the hearts of the loyal United fans, aligning with the famous words of Sir Matt Busby: “The red flag flying high at the summit of English, European, and world football.”
While the specific date for Omar Berrada to assume his role is yet to be confirmed, the club has communicated that Patrick Stewart will continue serving as the interim CEO in the meantime. The transitional period is expected to pave the way for a seamless handover and a new era in Manchester United’s leadership, with Omar Berrada at the helm.
