Nicky Butt has explained his decision to leave Manchester United.
Butt left his role in March and has now revealed he became frustrated and irritable before realising his time at United had reached its end.
He told The Athletic: “I went to head of first-team development. From there, I couldn't see where my next step was.
“When I get frustrated in a role or a job, as I did, I'm a different kind of person. I become irritable, not happy. I blame everybody else. The same thing happened to me as a player. When I start getting that feeling, I need to get out.
“As a player, I saw people I thought I was better than — in fact, I knew was better than — playing rather than me and that made me miserable.
“I was getting irritated about some of the stuff going on at the club. I felt irritable within myself. I needed to change. Most people don't leave Man United unless they have something lined up. I had nothing lined up.
“I just knew my personality, how I react to things and that it was time to leave. I didn't know where my next step was at the club."
