Manchester United have announced Steve McNally is to step down as the club's doctor after 16 years of service to take up a new role at the PGMOL, the body responsible for match officials in English professional football.
The club have confirmed that McNally will leave his position as Head of Football Medicine & Science at the end of January to become Performance Support Director for PGMOL, officially known as the Professional Game Match Officials Board.
