Manchester United chief executive Richard Arnold has shown a shift in approach since taking over at the club, with his comments hinting at a growing separation between his own role and those of the individuals involved in the football side of things.
Arnold succeeded Ed Woodward, who had spent more than a decade with the club before stepping down in February 2022. Soon after taking charge, he pledged to "strengthen the role of the fans at the heart of the club," with the comment coming after some had voiced their criticism of Woodward.
He is not the only new appointment in recent years, with John Murtough taking over as football director in 2021. And the interactions between the pair have been used as an example of the shift during changing times for United.
