Manchester United's club secretary is to retire at the age of 61.
John Alexander, who has been in the role since 2010, will step down in September.
The former Tottenham secretary was the fifth person to hold the job at Old Trafford since 1926.
He is the uncle of highly-rated Liverpool youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold and carried out a key role at the Premier League giants.
