MU's CEO to demit

After a decade at the helm of one of the world's biggest football clubs David Gill will step down as Manchester United chief executive officer in June.

Gill, who will be succeeded by current executive vice chairman Ed Woodward, was involved in the controversial takeover of the 19-time English champions by the American Glazer family.

Macolm Glazer, owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL franchise, acquired a controlling stake in United in 2005, a takeover that sparked fan protests.
