Last week, Manchester United's legendary helmsman Gershon's ambassadorship made waves on the green field, despite rumors in the British media that former United superstar Gary Nievely would take on the role on a part-time basis. The ambassador has been making frequent trips to India in the recent past to fulfill his promotional mission.
The Sun revealed that Gurney will work part-time as an ambassador and has recently traveled to Mohali, India to participate in a soccer school. Behind the story, Manchester United quietly sacked Faye Sir from his 11-year-long post. After completing his ambassadorial duties, Gurney is expected to earn more than £2 million a year.
In fact, he led Manchester United to eight Premier League crowns. He is close to new owner Ratcliffe. He was an early leader in assembling a team to work on the construction of a new stadium. Garry was also invited to be directly involved in the decision-making process for United's new Olympic Stadium project.
