Best thing about Nicky Butt's appointment is he is a Mancunian. #MUFC

Nicky Butt's a sound choice for the MUFC academy. Let him concentrate on coaching rather than bureaucracy, parents and politics.

Tough for anyone to assess Nicky Butt's suitability for the Academy Head role, but fact it's taken 10 months to appoint him = alarm bells

Did the club just forget that they hadn't replaced Brian McClair? How has it taken them a YEAR to decide Nicky Butt should get the job? 😂

If Nicky Butt is the best option for #mufc academy head, why has it taken 10 months to appoint him when he was there all along…..?

So this big announcement of a " huge revamp of the youth system " Woodward was banging on about, was Nicky Butt taking over… That's it?

Nicky Butt a tough and ambitious choice to head #mufc academy. Crucial someone with local knowledge was appointed to counter City.
