I was the right person to take Man Utd job but I did not win enough games - Moyes

Published on: 15 February 2016

Former Manchester United manager David Moyes insists he deserved to replace Sir Alex Ferguson as Red Devils boss, but suffered the consequences of not qualifying the club for the Champions League.

Moyes took over at Old Trafford from United legend Ferguson in 2013, but was sacked before the end of his first season in charge as the Red Devils finished in seventh place on the Premier League ladder.

The Scotsman told Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday show that current United manager Louis van Gaal is facing a similar scenario to keep his job.

"There's so much media attention on Louis van Gaal just now," he said.

"When I lost my job, he was lauded by everybody in football - by you people, the media and everybody else. Now many of you are the ones saying he should lose his job.

"If you go to Manchester United, that's what you get. You get an awful lot of media attention. But I still believe I was the right person to take the job.

"I know that the reason I lost my job at Manchester United was I didn't win enough games. It's as simple as that."
