Former Manchester United chief executive Richard Arnold has joined Norton Motorcycles.

Arnold stood down from his position at United in November 2023 as the club's lengthy ownership saga was reaching its conclusion.

The 53-year-old has kept a low profile since but, as a passionate motorcyclist, believes he can be a positive addition to the Norton leadership team, particularly around its commercial operations.

"I am looking forward to using my experience to assist Norton in maximising the opportunities ahead," he said.

Arnold was initially replaced on an interim basis at United by Patrick Stewart, although he is also leaving the club before Omer Berrada's arrival as chief executive next month.
