The High Court signed off the petition on April 12, with Brown since jetting out to Chile.

The former England international attended an event alongside his former United team-mate Diego Forlan.

He met fans in his role as United ambassador and signed football shirts and boots.

Brown has featured on United’s in-house TV and YouTube channels in recent times, while he is also an ambassador for Marriott hotels.
