Edwards was previously the Head of Performance analysis at Tottenham Hotspur. He took up a similar role at Liverpool in 2011.
The 43-year-old worked his way up the hierarchy at Liverpool and he was their technical director for around six years up until the end of the 2022/23 campaign.
He has been praised in recent years as he had a key role in Liverpool signing the likes of Vigil van Dijk, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
Earlier this week it was reported that Man Utd and Chelsea are planning to ‘battle it out’ for Edwards’ services.
The Mirror are now reporting that an unnamed executive at Man Utd is ‘stunned that those at the top of the club haven’t tried everything to persuade’ Edwards to ‘join their rebuild’.
The executive has been ‘left baffled’ by the club’s stance. John Murtough is currently United’s director of football – a role Edwards ‘would be most suitable for’.
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is a ‘keen admirer’ of Edwards. It is noted that the Blues will have an ‘easier run’ at him if United ‘continue to stand by the baffling decision to not go all out for his services’.
