Gary Neville explains Steve McClaren appointment as Man Utd assistant coach

Neville compared McClaren’s job to the one a United legend previously performed, albeit on the other side of the city.

“I see Steve’s role, to be fair, as more akin to what Brian Kidd did with Pep Guardiola for many years,” Gary added.

“I’ve done quite a lot of City games over the years [for television] and just that little voice that says ‘look Pep, you’re at this ground today, this is what it’s like’ and it’s just that type of advice that ultimately the new manager will need.
