Manchester United legend Gary Neville has delivered a scathing assessment of the club’s leadership following the dismissal of Michael Carrick. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Accusing MUFC of being classless in their treatment of the club legend, Neville condemned the hierarchy’s failure to communicate the decision to let Carrick go swiftly after their board meeting.
Gary added that leaving the manager hanging just to eventually sack him is very clumsy by Manchester United owners.
His words, “We’re sat here today recording this programme knowing that Michael Carrick is going to be sacked tomorrow, knowing that they’re speaking to Mauricio Pochettino, knowing that they’ve spoken to [Julian] Nagelsmann, [Eddie] Howe – and they should be doing that by the way, I’m not saying they shouldn’t be doing that.
But I think the fact they’re in Monaco now and they can’t sack him today knowing that it’s happening, to me it just feels a little bit clumsy, it feels a little bit classless.
I think if you live in Monaco, you can’t leave a guy hanging for 24 or 48 hours just because you live in Monaco, that can’t happen.”
On Poch, “One thing we do know about him is he does run his players, he does put physical fitness really at the top of the agenda. He’s always had fit teams, whether they’ve won or not won.
We used to train at Tottenham’s training ground when I was with England and they used to have that Tuesday – I’m calling it terror Tuesday, but it wasn’t called terror Tuesday – it was called something like that, his run was famous at that time in terms of what he does with every team, he does run them.
They were always fit his teams, to be fair. That’s one thing I think he will deal with straight away, he’s obviously got a lot of experience now, he knows how to coach a team.”
