However, Mail Sport understands that they have been informed that they will see their payments lowered from next season. It is also understood that the wide-ranging review of expenses at United is ongoing, and that a host of former players who work as matchday ‘legends’, could well be the next to be impacted.

The group, which includes the likes of Gary Pallister, can earn between £500 and £1,000 per game. Former captain Robson, one of the most popular United players of all-time, carries out a host of engagements for the club. In October, he led a team of 24 on a gruelling trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for the Manchester United Foundation.
