David Moyes attacks the sacking culture which seems to be emerging at Manchester United

Louis van Gaal gets the vote of confidence

David Moyes has spoken out about the situation at Manchester United, claiming the club “have always stood for much greater things than sacking their managers”.

Moyes is the only manager to have been dismissed by the club in the last 29 years, though Louis van Gaal could soon become the second.

When Moyes lost his job he had the champions in seventh place, 13 points off fourth and about to finish outside the top three for the first time in Premier League history.

Let’s bring it back around again though: he replaced Alex Ferguson, and everyone knew that post-Fergie was never going to be easy. Louis van Gaal has since proven that to be true.

Increasing speculation suggests the Dutchman is about to follow Moyes out the Old Trafford exit doors as the club continues to underperform. As United’s rivals Manchester City prepare to welcome Pep Guardiola, the struggle continues in the red half of Manchester.

They say Mauricio Pochettino is the golden boy but even he wouldn’t have been given time if recent history and current speculation are anything to go by. And David Moyes has had a pop at that change of culture and attitude.
