Neville dismisses crisis talk

Gary Neville has brushed aside the financial crisis at Old Trafford, insisting the media speculation doesn’t affect the players.

The Manchester United captain could probably be more understanding of the fans concerns and maybe take an active role in mediating between fans groups and the Glazer family, but he says he’d rather focus on matters on the pitch.

“All the speculation about the finances at Manchester United does not affect the players,” he told the Sunday Times.

“We are always very well protected and never get involved in the financial side of things.

“There have been talks and rumours over the years going back to when the Glazers took over, and even when Michael Knighton nearly took over in the 1980s.

“As players we never get involved in those things; our job is purely on the pitch and we allow people who are paid to do jobs in other areas of the club to do their job.

“It is nothing to do with us at all.”
