Manchester United's interim chief executive Patrick Stewart and chief financial officer Cliff Baty are stepping down at the end of the season by mutual consent. 

Stewart will be replaced as CEO by Jean-Claude Blanc until Omar Berrada starts work on July 13 and Roger Bell will take over as CFO.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe said: 'I would like to personally thank both Patrick and Cliff for their support in helping us get to know the club and making us feel welcome and I respect their decisions to now move on as we establish a new management team for the club.'

Joel Glazer added: 'I would like to thank Patrick and Cliff for their dedicated service to Manchester United and wish them well for the future. 

'Both have been a source of invaluable advice and expertise over many years, and Patrick has served an important role as interim CEO during this transitional phase.'
