Former Manchester United Chief Frustrated by Salford City Experience - AsianBookie News Former Manchester United Chief Frustrated by Salford City Experience
Sunday, August 10, 2025 - 16 hours ago
       
Neil Wood, a former Manchester United academy chief, has expressed his frustration with how he was treated during his time as manager at Salford City. Wood left his job at United to take the helm at League Two Salford, but was axed after 18 months in charge.

Wood shared his thoughts on his experience, saying that while he was given praise by prominent figures like Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, he felt that he was not given enough time to implement his vision for the team. Neville had reportedly said that he had never seen better football at Salford, and Giggs had been a regular observer of training sessions, expressing his desire to play alongside the team.

Wood reflected on his first season at Salford, which he described as "really successful." The team reached the play-off semi-finals against Stockport, and Wood felt that he had made significant progress in building a playing style and improving the team's culture. However, in his second season, he encountered challenges when new players were brought in who did not fit his team's style.

Wood noted that the club's leadership had changed during his tenure, with Gary Neville initially serving as CEO before stepping back and making way for Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs to take on more prominent roles. While Wood appreciated the support he received from the trio, he felt that their differing opinions and preferences for the team's style created tension and made it difficult for him to implement his vision.

Wood eventually left Salford and has since been working as an assistant coach with the Trinidad and Tobago national team under Dwight Yorke.
