Rio Ferdinand reveals David Moyes’ biggest failing at Man Utd was ‘thinking like an Everton manardger’ after taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson as he lifts the lid on the West Ham boss’ time at Old Traffo
Rio Ferdinand has provided insight into his time as a player under David Moyes following Sir Alex Ferguson’s exit from Manchester United.
From 2002 until 2014,
the 45-year-old former center back participated in 312 games for the Red Devils and scored seven goals.
Moyes took over as the team’s manager in June 2013 after Sir Alex left,
however he was fired 10 months later after finishing seventh and not making it to Europe.
On the first day of preseason, Ferdinand was asked what he thought of Moyes.
He responded to the Obi One Podcast by saying, “As a professional,
I wanted him [Moyes] to do well and you’re giving them that time and the chance, definitely.”
The team and the younger players are affected by this because it creates a fearful atmosphere in our minds.
We should be discussing what we are going to do instead of just what they are going to do.
That aspect, in my opinion, required a more significant change in perspective from that of an Everton manager to that of a Manchester United manager.
It had to have the mindset of winners.
“But I do actually still feel sorry for David Moyes because of the shoes he had to fill—coming to Man United from Everton is a completely different ball game,”
the former England international continued.
To assume it was an easy run for Moyes was absurd,
since even Mourinho may have struggled after Sir Alex.
