MAG exec director takes top job at Manchester United

Manchester Airports Group executive director Collette Roche is to join Manchester United as its first female chief operating officer.
Roche, 43, will be in charge of facilities, the Old Trafford ground, ticketing and running the day-to-day business of the club.
She will become the highest-placed female working at the club and the ninth woman to take a boardroom role in the Premier League.
Darcie Glazer is currently the only female director at Manchester United, but works in a non-executive role.
Last year the Manchester Evening News named Roche as one of the region’s top 100 inspiring women.
