Malcolm Glazer has appointed three more members of his family to the board of Manchester United.
Sons Kevin, 44, Edward, 36, and daughter Darcie, who will be 38 on Thursday join as non-executive directors.
While United officials insist the move will have no affect on the day-to-day running of business at Old Trafford, the appointments could be interpreted as a sign of Glazer passing on responsibility for the club to his family.
The 78-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner is still recovering from the two strokes he suffered in April which left him with slurred speech and partial disability.
"The move reflects common practice," said a United spokesman.
"All Glazer family members are involved in all the family's business interests."
