'Man Utd's philosophy is like Barcelona or Ajax' - Neville demands new manager must respect club traditions

The Old Trafford side's next permanent boss must play the right way and give young players belief according to the former defender

Manchester United's next permanent manager must be prevented from betraying the club's attacking traditions again, according to ex-defender Gary Neville.

Sir Alex Ferguson's successors David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho have all been sacked after adopting defensive tactics which have gone against the team's recent history.

Supporters have vented their frustrations during home matches with the chant of "attack, attack, attack" a constant theme at Old Trafford in the five-and-a-half years since Ferguson's retirement.
