Meanwhile, a significant number of staff at the club were made redundant last year and ticket prices were increased, and it now appears that INEOS’s quest for savings has seen them cut more ambassadorial jobs.

talkSPORT were the first to discover it United they informed club legends such as Bryan Robson, Denis Irwin and Andy Cole that their ambassadorial salaries would be reduced.

Further to that, Daily Mail state that the wage-cutting process may not yet be complete, and United officials may be looking to sign contracts with a number of ex-players who work as “matchday legends”.
