Manchester United legend Bryan Robson has backed the club's appointment of Richard Arnold as their new Chief Executive Officer.
Arnold was officially unveiled as the club's new CEO on Thursday, a position he will begin on February 1.
And Robson has endorsed Arnold's appointment in an interview with MUTV.
"I've travelled all round the world with Richard over the years and you can see how determined he is," Robson said.
"His man management skills are great, and he's been very successful for this football club since he took over on the commercial side. If you look at our transfers last summer and the money that we paid, a lot of that is down to the commercial aspects which Richard has brought into the club.
"But he knows that no matter how good you are commercially, the most important thing is getting it right on the pitch. I know Richard understands that and he'll do his utmost to make it happen. He knows it's really important to win trophies, and I think what the club have done is put John Murtough and Darren Fletcher in place to bring players in and have an opinion on that.
"I'm sure that Richard, on certain football aspects, will ask people like David Gill and Sir Alex Ferguson for their opinion, because they're passionate about the club. Richard is [also] passionate about the football club and the biggest thing I can say is I know he will want it to be successful. He's really dedicated and hard-working, and I think it's a great appointment."
