Gary Neville steps down as Man U's ambassador post comparing Van Gaal's side to 'pub team'

Manchester United legend Gary Neville stepped down as his former club's ambassador after he launched a cutting attack on his old club last week, when he compared Louis van Gaal's side to a pub team following their 2-1 victory against Southampton.

Van Gaal has not taken the criticism well and it has been reportedly revealed that there is a feeling at Old Trafford that Neville is now more critical of the club he served as a player for 18 years after leaving his role as an official club ambassador.

A United source insisted that Neville, now a TV pundit, decided to step down because he felt unable to give enough time to the job when he has commitments with Sky Sports and as an assistant to England boss Roy Hodgson, The Mirror reported.

Neville has reportedly taken on a less demanding role as a United legend but Van Gaal is not happy about the criticism he has been receiving from former United stars like Neville and Paul Scholes. The Dutchman claimed that they have failed to understand the new philosophy he has introduced.
