I was scammed into investing into a hotel that didn't exist - here's how you can avoid the same: How Man United legend Bryan Robson is advising the next generation, writes IAN HERBERT

Because he doesn't shout about it, letting his feelings be known to millions all the time in the contemporary way, it's easy to forget what a giant presence Bryan Robson is at Manchester United. Bryan Robson is one of Man United's greatest players of all time and is a link back to their past But during his career, Robson was the victim of bad financial advice and was scammed Robson is now trying to pass his advice onto the next generation of United stars, encouraging them to take proper investment advice and avoid chancers and financial predators Your browser does not support iframes. Robson is working on this project with one of his United contemporaries, Simon Andrews, who was just outside the first team squad in the late 1980s and is now a financial specialist Former United star Wes Brown related last week how he had gone bankrupt because of a lack of knowledge in how he was investing The conversation with Robson turns to the subject of United's own false sense of security, after reaching two cup finals and the Champions League last season, with Marcus Rashford the ultimate manifestation of how things haven't turned out well. Empathy yet realism, explaining why, to the very end of his time as manager, Sir Alex Ferguson always liked to see Robson close at hand, keeping an eye on United's young players as they trained. It was a pleasure to watch Josh Bohannon in action against Surrey at Old Trafford on Saturday But the beauty and promise of a new season for those of us there was diluted by an unmistakeable sense that more might be done to push the county cricket experience for fans Sad day for sports broadcasting A light goes out on sports broadcasting with news of Garry Richardson's departure from BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
