‘Very well’ - Victor Lindelof casts verdict on Richard Arnold’s time at Manchester United
16.11.2023 - 13:54 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Victor Lindelof believes Richard Arnold represented Manchester United well during his 16 years at the club, including his time as chief executive officer.
The defender is “sad” that the 52-year-old is to leave his role by the end of the year, but says he has done “very well” in his time at Old Trafford.

Addressing his scheduled departure, Arnold said: “It has been an incredible privilege to serve this great football club for the past 16 years.
