Gary Neville says the Manchester United players will be in more danger of getting the chop than manager David Moyes.
Neville joined Geoff Sheeves on this week’s Champions League Podcast where he reiterated that Moyes will have the backing of the board despite the under-par results this season.
“I said earlier on in the season the players will be in more danger than the manager,” said the former United captain. “The way in which Manchester United have always worked is to give the manager time and I believe in that philosophy.
“Managers are getting sacked after 70 days but to even think of sacking a manager after seven months is nonsense, so I think [United] will support Moyes.
“You look at the people on the board, and we’re talking about the Glazer family and whether they’ve ever been put in this position before.
“But you look at the likes of David Gill, Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Alex Ferguson – who are obviously the main football people at Manchester United – and I don’t think for one second it will be crossing their minds at this moment in time.
“The players will be more at threat and feeling nervous about whether they are part of the future.”
