Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville is unconvinced by their management shakeup.
Neville believes the appointments of John Murtough as football director and Darren Fletcher as technical director will not have a massive impact on Manchester United's chances of winning a major trophy.
Neville believes the pair are unlikely to be "massively influential" in the club's chances of future on-field success, telling Sky Sports: "I think the appointments of John Murtough and Darren Fletcher are internal appointments, really.
"Murtough has been at the club for eight seasons, Darren Fletcher has obviously known the club for a long time. It's quite clear that the direction of the club is to go down a path of people who understand and know the DNA of the club.
"Nicky Butt is in the club, Michael Carrick, Mike Phelan, Darren Fletcher, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - there's five or six players who have lived through the Sir Alex Ferguson era who know what it means.
"There has been a departure at times over the last 10 years since Sir Alex left, in terms of going down different routes, it's clear now that Ed Woodward and the board have chosen to go down this route.
"In terms of the appointment of John Murtough as football director, I don't see that being a critical appointment in the sense of United winning the league or not winning the league in the next few years.
"When you look at the job description, I don't think he has the veto to sack the manager or appoint a manager or sign a player or get rid of a player. I think that will still come down to the same people as before.
"Obviously, there is a comfort internally now in regards to the current people who are there, they're working well.
"I do think there has been progression since Jose Mourinho left, generally, the performance levels are better, the football is better, the feeling in the club is better and maybe the connection to the fans."
