Manchester United's incoming chief executive Richard Arnold is looking to build bridges with ex-players such as Gary Neville, who have been fiercely critical of the club since moving into punditry.
Arnold will take over from Ed Woodward on February 1 and, according to The Athletic, is already looking to establish a smoother relationship with club legends who are now authoritative voices in the media.
Arnold has reportedly already reached out to Neville, with Paul Scholes also expected to hold talks with him in the near future.
