"During that period, Jim played a pivotal role in the development of Manchester United's teams and was an important source of guidance for Sir Alex Ferguson and every coach who came after him."

"Marcel Bout has left his position as world chief scout after eight years with the club," he added.


He concluded by saying, "A respected figure inside and outside Manchester United, Marcel has played an important role as an assistant coach and in enhancing our scouting capabilities in recent years."
