Ex-Man Utd star forced to close bar in Spain and step away from business

Former Manchester United star Lee Sharpe has made the decision to close his bar in Spain after claiming it "wasn't working" for him and his family.

Sharpe, who was part of United's first ever Premier League winning squad in 1992-93, moved to Spain in 2021 and opened an Irish pub called 'Sharpey's'. Just one year on, however, he is moving on from the venture.

In more than a decade and a half as a professional footballer, Sharpe played top-flight football in three different countries and won eight senior caps for England. Since retiring, he has taken up golf professionally and moved to the Costa Blanca, but he has accepted the need to move on from his latest venture.
