Man Utd legend Nicky Butt has expressed major concern over how the club's new owners are operating - in particular their treatment of club legends 👀
🗣️: “It’s easy for me to sit here as a former Man Utd player and say this is not right.
“It’s not my prerogative to tell the powers that be how to do things. But, I do believe Man Utd is a different kettle of fish, it’s not only a football club, it’s an institution.
“You need people in the background to know what the club is like. So when things are going bad for certain people, they just put their arm around them and say, ‘This is what we do, we stick together’.
“The only problem I’ve got with the football club is that they’re losing that.
“I don’t know why they [Evans and Jones] have left, but it doesn’t look great, especially when they’re doing as bad as they are. Surely they’re the type of guys you want to stay.
“Sir Alex’s model was always wanting to keep old players around, and put them in certain levels with what they want to do. That’s changed over the years, and it’s down to the fact that the owners who have come in don’t believe in that.
“The philosophy behind that institution, you have to have people around who know the football club.” 👀
