Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold has attempted to reassure club staff after his pub showdown with fans.
Arnold, 51, was pictured talking to Red Devils’ supporters in a Chesire pub over the weekend. He did not pull any punches on his assessment over the club’s recent failings both on and off the pitch - with the side's lucrative transfer dealings in particular being put under the spotlight.
Arnold made headlines on Saturday night after his stunning face-to-face meeting with anti-Glazer protesters at The Boot Inn, in Willington, giving a damning verdict on predecessor Ed Woodward’s reign. In a brutal assessment of the state of the club, he said: “We’ve f***ing burned through cash. We spent a billion pounds on players, we spent more than anyone in Europe. I am not thrilled with where we are, it doesn’t sit easy and we’ve got to get this sorted.
