Phil Neville has been having his say on Manchester United and their current issues and has shared some insight into the club’s inner workings.

Neville spent time at Old Trafford as both a player and a coach. He was one of the class of 92 that starred for years for United, before returning to the club to help David Moyes.

However, Neville has admitted to not being impressed with what he saw all those years ago under Moyes.

Speaking to NBC Sports earlier today, Neville shared some insight into the inner workings of the club and claims that things have got to be sorted quickly.

“The first thing they can’t do is sack the manager. They can’t. They’ve done that before. I was part of David Moyes’ staff. David Moyes comes in on a five-year contract, ten months later sacked. And I witnessed first hand there cos I’d seen some great times there, I’d seen what greatness looked like under a great manager. And then when Moyes came in and I went in, I was absolutely amazed at what I saw. The fact that they’re more interested in the commercial side of things and making money over what happens on the pitch. Then Mourinho, then Van Gaal, then Rangnick, then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. I think Manchester United needs to sort itself, from top to bottom,” Neville said.

Manchester United problems well known but Phil Neville comments confirm it

It’s always good to get insight from someone who was actually at a club and has witnessed things first-hand and this is what Neville is providing.

We hear so much from his brother Gary and a lot of the time you wonder how he is getting such info.

But given Phil worked at the club, it’s obvious that the information is getting out there and it’s obvious what we hear is true.

As Neville says here, there seems to be a focus on making money as a business, which is fine to an extent.

But the football side of things is suffering and over time that is going to impact the business model as well.

The longer the team goes without winning, the less popular they’ll be and ultimately, that will filter into sponsors, money making deals, and more.
