I've no idea, I only heard about Mike Forde recently in a article which Whitwell/Ornstein dropped via The Athletic. And in that article it was said that Forde was advising the Glazers. I then did a bit of a search online and learned that Forde and Murtough worked together in the past, before Murtough was brought to United by David Moyes. Murtough progressed as a talent developer on the football side and Forde progressed as a football executive. It wouldn't surprise me if Murtough brings Forde into the equation when negotiating deals.How long has he been advising them?
Both Rangnick and ten Hag deals were brokered by Forde.
