Manchester United legend Gary Neville has condemned the club's investigation into Mason Greenwood, insisting the process has been 'horrible'.
Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, before Crystal Palace's game against Arsenal, Gary Neville was asked if United had made the right decision. He replied: "Yes they have, they finally got there. I think it was clear from day one for me and for anybody who saw that evidence that was initially released, that he wouldn't play for Manchester United again. So they have got there, however I would say that the process in getting there, I think, has been pretty horrible.
"Manchester United, when you have significant situations and difficult situations like this, it requires strong and authoritative leadership. That comes from the very top and Manchester United don't have that." Neville has also called for the formation of an independent panel that can adjudicate on such matters, taking the power out of the hands of the football clubs who employ the players involved in such matters."On an issue like domestic abuse, and violence against women, it brings me to a third point that there needs to be independence.
It shouldn't be that Manchester United are the judge and jury on such a significant issue, not just for themselves but also for the game." "People talk about the reputation of Manchester United but it's the Premier League here as well, and my view is that on issues of this importance and severity, they should be dealt with independently by a panel, because it's been clear that Manchester United have not had the skill and the ability to deal with this situation properly. It's been well above their grade in terms of experience and ability.
