(Reuters) - Former defender and television pundit Gary Neville has said Manchester United should sack chief executive Ed Woodward as he has overseen a period of decline despite the Premier League club having one of the largest wage bills in the world.

United have not won a Premier League title since 2013 -- when former manager Alex Ferguson retired -- despite spending nearly one billion pounds on incoming transfers without a director of football to identify potential recruits.

"I saw a statistic two weeks ago that United have the second highest wage bill in the world and that's the squad they've got. It's unforgivable, it really is. United have finished in the top four for automatic Champions League qualification only twice since 2013 and Sunday's 2-0 defeat by league leaders and arch-rivals Liverpool left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side five points off fourth place.
