EPL: Disgusting – Gary Neville fumes over Man Utd’s handling of Carrick’s sacking

Former England defender Gary Neville has described Manchester United’s handling of Michael Carrick‘s dismissal as “disgusting,” arguing that the club’s conduct was below the standards expected in any business or industry.

Neville made the comments following Carrick’s removal as head coach on Thursday, with Mauricio Pochettino reportedly lined up as his potential replacement at Old Trafford.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, the former Manchester United captain criticised the timing and manner of the decision, particularly the way the club’s leadership handled the situation.

Neville expressed his displeasure over the fact that the club’s executives and owners were in Monaco while Carrick, a Manchester United legend, was still conducting training sessions.

He also questioned the club’s simultaneous approach to the US Soccer Federation regarding Pochettino, suggesting that the circumstances surrounding the managerial change were poorly handled.

Describing the situation as “quite simply unpleasant,” Neville said the club’s actions were unacceptable and did not reflect the standards expected of a major organisation.
