United should be above hasty sackings

Former Manchester United star Gary Neville feels his former club should stand apart from the culture of firing managers when things don’t go well immediately.

United are set to sack embattled boss David Moyes after less than a season in charge, a decision that has angered Sky Sports pundit Neville.

Neville said: “I’ve been associated with the club for 30 years and that’s what I’ve always believed. I genuinely believe that when you give a man a six-year contract that he deserves an opportunity and the time.
