A member of the Manchester United hierarchy is expected to leave Old Trafford, becoming the latest senior figure to do so in recent months.
Alan Dawson MBE has served as the Red Devils' director of football operations since September 2017, having joined the club five years earlier. A University of Oxford graduate, he spent 17 years in the Royal Air Force before joining United as a commercial operations director in April 2012.
After 18 months in the position, he was appointed director of business development and later took up the mantle of group operations director before embarking on his current role. However, Dawson is set to leave the club upon completing work on an unspecified special project, although final confirmation has not been received, according to The Athletic.
