Matt Judge is reported to have stood down from his position as head of corporate development for Manchester United and will not play a part in their upcoming recruitment drive. Judge has been a key figure when it comes to negotiations at Old Trafford and beyond since being appointed to his current role in 2016.
In what is shaping up to be a summer of change, there have already been several high-profile departures upstairs, with Jim Lawlor (chief scout) and Marcel Bout (head of global scouting) among those already confirmed to follow executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward out of the door.
According to The Athletic, that trio will be joined by Judge after he serves a notice period. For the last six seasons, he has been responsible for leading transfer and contract negotiations at the club - with 25 permanent deals made on his watch resulting in United splashing out a jaw-dropping £770million. Here is a rundown of those players.
