Simon Jordan has described Richard Arnold as a 'gormless buffoon' after the Manchester United chief executive was secretly filmed having a forthright conversation with fans in a pub.

Footage of the discussion, in which Arnold criticised the transfer policy of his predecessor Ed Woodward and admits the club 'f***ing burned through cash', emerged over the weekend.

Arnold also said the last 12 months had been a 'f***ing nightmare' and that England players returned to the club after their defeat in last summer's Euro 2020 final with their confidence 'shot'.
