Manchester United have confirmed commercial director Lee Daley has left the club.
He was a visible figure on the club's successful Far East tour recently and there was no indication his departure, confirmed in a brief statement without offering an explanation, would be so swift.
"Manchester United announces that its commercial director Lee Daley has left the company by mutual consent," read the statement.
Chief executive David Gill added: "Everyone at United wishes Lee the very best in the future."
