United have announced Ashley Hackett will join them from Blackpool in the summer to replace outgoing John Shiels as chief executive of the club's Foundation. The Foundation is United's charitable arm and does a huge amount in the local community, raising money for underprivileged children and those from deprived backgrounds, with various initiatives, including sleep outs at the stadium and coat donations.
Hackett has spent 15 years with the Blackpool FC Community Trust, increasing turnover from £225,000 to £3.2m, securing more than £25m in charitable funding.
