Manchester United owner Malcolm Glazer has appointed three more members of his family to the board at Old Trafford.

Sons Kevin, 44, Edward, 36, and daughter Darcie, 37, will join the club as non-executive directors.

"The move reflects common practice - all Glazer family members are involved in all the family's business interests," said a United spokesman.

The trio join Glazer's sons, Joel, Ave and Bryan, who have been on the board since the takeover in 2005.

The United owner, 78, is recovering from the two strokes he suffered in April that left him with slurred speech and partial disability.
