Scout set to leave after 18-year spell as talent spotter
Manchester Evening News
|January 23, 2026
UNITED scout Antonio Cruz has confirmed he is leaving the club after 18 years of service as a first-team talent-spotter in Portugal and Spain.
Known as Toninho, Cruz confirmed his departure on LinkedIn, and he is the latest scout to leave Old Trafford as the club follows the modern trend of using data and Al to aid their recruitment and player watching.
A former lower-league player in Portugal, Cruz is one of dozens of full-time scouts to leave United over the past 12 months, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe's second round of redundancies including a slimming down of the scouting department.
