Sports News] British media reports suggest that nutrition expert James Morton
is on the verge of joining Manchester United. Previously, Morton worked
alongside Dave Brailsford, the sporting director of Ineos, during their time at
Team Sky. Morton played a key role in formulating the team’s nutrition
strategy, contributing to their success in winning multiple Tour de France
titles. He has also worked as a Performance Nutrition Specialist in Liverpool.
Recent reports indicate that Morton visited Manchester United’s training base,
fueling speculation that he may be taking up a position at the club. It is
worth noting that Brailsford has been conducting investigations at Manchester
United over the past few months to explore ways to enhance various departments
within the club. Additionally, Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag has engaged
in discussions with members of the Jumbo team to seek advice and insights from
the cycling community. The opinions of Manchester United fans regarding this
potential appointment remain to be seen.
