Man United Will Follow Man City

DBasia.news – Just entering the second week of Premier League, Manchester United faced many negative issues about the internal clash involving some matters: the poor relationship between Jose Mourinho-Paul Pogba-Anthony Martial, and also the bad connection with the executive vice-chairman Man United, Ed Woodward.

All of the news appeared since the surprising 3-2 defeat of The Red Devils against Brighton & Hove Albion. Mourinho rumored blaming Woodward for not purchasing the desired players like Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld, or Yerry Mina.

While Woodward won’t sign any new player for Mourinho because he already spent £70M to purchase Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly, two defenders who performed poorly in the match against Brighton.

The issue made Man United legend, Gary Neville spoke up. He believed it’s the right time for Man United to have sporting director just like Manchester City and the other clubs, to make it easier for Woodward in dividing the transfer job and becomes the middlemen of Mourinho about the desired players.

“Ed Woodward has done an incredible job in terms of the commercial operation and the way in which the club makes an operating profit, but there is no doubt he should put a footballing structure underneath him that his extremely serious and can go and deliver for him on the pitch,” Neville said to Mirror.

“United need serious football people to be able to guide the club because they’ve been bouncing from strategy to strategy. Manchester United now have to do the same.”

“Ed Woodward can then sit there as executive vice-chairman and make sure the commercial side and the footballing side deliver the profit on and off the pitch. The way the club are trying to operate now is by spending serious money, £200m a season. You need serious people you can trust to spend that money for you,” he explained.

Neville’s idea will be the long-term vision because it requires a continuing process.
