Manchester United 's chief operating officer Michael Bolingbroke is to leave the club.

Bolingbroke oversaw the Reds' ticketing, hospitality and matchday operations as part of his remit at Old Trafford.

M.E.N Sport understands Bolingbroke resigned having found a job with another company and that his decision came as a shock to officials at United.

They will share his responsibilities among existing staff before launching a search for his successor in the summer.

Ed Woodward, executive vice chairman said: “Mike has been instrumental in the success of some major projects that we have completed since his arrival, most notably at the Aon Training Complex and in improving the matchday experience for all fans coming to Old Trafford.

"Everyone here wishes him well for the future. With the internal reorganisation undertaken last summer, we will maintain stability in vital areas of the business.”
