Butt leaves Man United: friction with Murtough and overlooked for promotion
Nicky Butt’s departure from Manchester United after nine years on staff came suddenly, but not without reason. The appointment of John Murtough as football director and the way it was handled was a factor, The Athletic can reveal. According to sources, Butt and Murtough were like chalk and cheese, coming at football from different perspectives. Butt’s vision is based on a glittering playing career, much of it with United and also England. Murtough’s knowledge comes from years as an administrator. Friction had built up in recent months as Murtough increased his influence at United and when the recent restructuring announcements arrived, Butt made his decision.

Butt seriously....
Not sure there's much in the John Murtough clash of personality stuff, but it does sell papers/gets clicks.
Though the charge was eventually dropped think Nicky has had one foot out the door since he was up on an assault charge against his estranged Wife.
The club stood by him at the time but it's no great surprise he's decided to leave now, and good luck to him.

He was the most qualified candidate at the club for the role, done outstanding work for years throughout the club structure, actually worked his way through the club structure and knows it ALL better than anyone there.... and was deliberately snubbed and over-looked for a job that he alone is more qualified to do, certainly than Murtough or Fletcher. He knew his worth and walked, good on him. Big hole at the club and some shocked faces by all accounts.
DNA of the club my arse, utter bollocks.

In hindsight makes you wonder just how much Nicky Butt knew about the impending 'European Super League' plans

And of course this is exactly why he was Woodward's only choice
