Since then, Football Insider has claimed that Butt had been involved in ‘an astonishing training ground bust-up’ with Murtough, who was made the club’s new football director earlier this month.

There was ‘a verbal exchange that was said by witnesses to be explosive’ at the Man Utd training complex around six months ago.

A source told Football Insider that the pair were ‘nose to nose’ and that they shouted ‘four-letter insults’ as they ‘nearly came to blows’.

The report describes Butt and Murtough’s relationship as ‘fractious’ with one source saying: “John was lucky it did not come to blows as Butty would have killed him, he was ready to really go for him.”
