    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The report adds that the fee for matchday ambassadorial duties usually ranges from £500 to £1,000. Robson, fondly known as 'Captain Marvel' by Red Devils fans has been serving as a global ambassador for United since 2011, while 1999 treble-winning stars Irwin and Cole, along with a host of other United legends, remain associated with the club in a similar capacity.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    The cost-cutting started last year when Ratcliffe took the ruthless decision to terminate legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson's multi-million-pound contract as the club's global ambassador, effective from the 2025-26 season. It also affected the club's employees as around 250 non-playing staff were made redundant.
