Manchester United legend Nicky Butt has admitted he had to leave Old Trafford before he ‘blew up’ with those running the club.
During his playing days, Butt was the combative midfielder in Sir Alex Ferguson’s all-conquering teams. And that feisty nature remained when he went into coaching and he revealed he would often clash with United’s top brass.
Butt stepped down from his role as Head of First-Team Development in March 2021, having spent nine years within the Red Devils coaching setup. The 48-year-old has now opened up on his departure and hinted at the dysfunction under the current regime.
