Robson Takes On Ambassador Role

Manchester United have appointed former captain Bryan Robson as an ambassador for the club.

Robson, nicknamed Captain Marvel during his illustrious 13-year United career, will help promote the club’s name, charity and community work around the world, working alongside United director Sir Bobby Charlton.

The 51-year-old former Middlesbrough, West Brom and Sheffield United manager says he is looking forward to his new role at Old Trafford.

“I’m delighted to have the chance to work alongside Sir Bobby and to be such a central part of Manchester United’s future. Since signing for the club in 1981, it’s always been special to me.

“I enjoyed the happiest and most memorable times of my career at Old Trafford and it will be great to play a role in making the club even more successful.”

United’s chief executive, David Gill, added: “Bryan was the outstanding player of his generation and he remains close to the hearts of everyone that saw him play.

"His relationship with United supporters is second to none and I look forward to working with him for the benefit of the club, the team and the fans.”
