Damien Comolli says Manchester United need to have a director of football. The club signed Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini for £27.5m but missed out on a number of further targets. Comolli, an ex-director of football at Liverpool and Tottenham, believed new United manager David Moyes and chief executive Ed Woodward needed more help. "If there was a club in need of a director of football to ease the process for both individuals it was Manchester United," said Comolli. United signed Fellaini on transfer deadline day, but failed with late moves for Everton defender Leighton Baines, Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera and Real Madrid left-back Fabio Coentrao. Moyes was also unsuccessful earlier in the summer when Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas stayed at the Nou Camp and midfielder Thiago Alacantara opted to join German side Bayern Munich when he left the Spanish champions.
