The day Man Utd staff confronted CEO Arnold over Greenwood, Antony and behaviour towards women
An all-staff meeting saw Manchester United employees take the club to task over how Greenwood was handled and how women are treated
It is now almost two months since Manchester United faced an internal revolt after news emerged that the club’s chief executive, Richard Arnold, had communicated to his executive leadership team how the club was planning to bring back Mason Greenwood.
Ultimately, United did not follow through on the plan, instead opting to send Greenwood on loan to Spanish side Getafe following a backlash from politicians, charities and supporters. In September, Arnold organised an all-staff meeting, in which he sought to address the concerns that had spiralled among staff.
During the peak of the Greenwood episode, some staff members felt shamed by their association with the club, while others considered their positions and discussed how to organise a strike in the workplace. Former United captain Gary Neville described the club’s process as “horrible” and said the club lacked “authoritative leadership”.
