'Pub-team' row Man United legend Gary Neville steps down as an ambassador for the club
TV pundit angered inconsistent Red Devils' boss Louis van Gaal by saying this week's game with Liverpool would be like “The Dog & Duck against The Red Lion”
EA Sports
Gary Neville has quit as a Manchester United ambassador.
The former England full-back launched a scathing attack on his old club last week, when he compared Louis van Gaal’s side to a pub team after their 2-1 victory at Southampton.
Van Gaal has not taken the criticism well and Sunday Mirror Sport can reveal that there is a feeling at Old Trafford that Neville is now more critical of the club he served as a player for 18 years after leaving his role as an official club ambassador.
A United source insisted that Neville decided to step down because he felt unable to give enough time to the job when he has commitments with Sky Sports and as an assistant to England boss Roy Hodgson.
He has taken on a less demanding role as a ‘Manchester United Legend’ but Van Gaal is not happy about the criticism he has been receiving from former United stars like Neville and Paul Scholes.
He says they have failed to understand the new philosophy he has introduced.
