Moyes: I needed more time at Man United

FORMER Manchester United manager, David Moyes says it was “unfortunate” he was not given more time at Old Trafford.

He however, insisted that he had benefitted from his 10-month spell in charge and was considering job offers.

The Scot, 51, said he had learned some “invaluable lessons” and enjoyed his time at the club.

He told Sunday Post, “I believe I’ll be much wiser and more knowledgeable coach and manager from the short time I had at Old Trafford.”

Moyes, who took over from Sir Alex Ferguson, was sacked last April, 10 months into his six-year contract.

He said he though he would be given more time to implement a revamp at the club.

“It was unfortunate I wasn’t given more time to succeed. It could well be that gone are the days of long-term planning at United.”

Moyes, who managed Everton for 11 years before moving to Old Trafford, added: “I believe I had nothing but support from Sir Alex Ferguson during my short period as manager” and he confirmed that some United players including Wayne Rooney and Darren Fletcher had contacted him with messages of support after he left.
