Man Utd legend Neville: Transfer policy broken

Manchester United legend Gary Neville says something is broken inside the club.

Neville blasted the culture at the club and questioned the structure behind the scenes, particularly regarding transfers.

He rapped on Monday night: "They've appointed the best in class coaches that have failed at Manchester United. You start to question - is it just the coach?

"There is a cultural problem at the football club. There is a cultural problem, it's deep. The decisions are bad, the choices are poor.

"Who is signing the players this summer? Every other football club in this country I could tell you who is in charge of signings. I haven't got a clue at Manchester United.

"They've still got Sir Alex's chief scout, they've still got Louis Van Gaal's scout there, they've still got David Moyes' chief football operator there.

"They've got four or five people there - I think there's another guy there who has been appointed by the CEO.

"You've got four or five people in charge of recruitment, you've got the head coach who'll have an opinion on recruitment, the CEO will have an opinion, who is in charge? Who has the final say?

"Jose Mourinho, last summer, was told his signings that he wanted were not right. Who is telling Jose Mourinho that his signings are not right at the football club? Who is qualified?"
