Premier League giants Manchester United are interested in signing up to the same player recruitment database currently in use at Nottingham Forest, according to the Daily Mail.
Sabri Lamouchi’s squad was bolstered by 12 new additions during the summer and several gems were unearthed by the club’s recruitment team.
The club’s transfer bigwigs are currently signed up to a Spanish consultancy service called Driblab, with several La Liga clubs also buying into the trusted facility.
Forest signed Brice Samba, Samba Sow, Alfa Semedo, Yuri Ribeiro and Tiago Silva as relatively unknown quantities during the summer and each of them have proved successful recruits.
Manchester United have started their season in miserable fashion. The Red Devils languish in 12th place and have won just two of their eight Premier League matches.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to be backed during the next transfer window and the club hopes Driblab, which has proved so fruitful to Forest, will revive the Old Trafford-based club’s fortunes.

Forest currently sit in second place in the Championship and Solskjaer is thought to want Driblab in place in time for the January transfer window.
Seat Pitch Summary – Another string to Forest’s blossoming bow
Earning rave reviews from Championship players and managers is one thing, but having Manchester United try and copy your recruitment policy is probably the ultimate compliment.
Some supporters shook their heads in dismay when several unknown quantities signed during the summer. Even after 11 games, however, those despairing shakes have already turned into apologetic nods of approval.
Goalkeeper Samba and midfield maestro Sow have been particular hits from Forest’s recruitment policy; with Semdo, Ribeiro, Silva and Chema Rodriguez also looking like solid pieces of business.
United will hope to get similar success to that of Forest and if used properly it could well save Solskjaer’s job, which on current league form looks to be perilous.
