Man United have lost 11 league games this season, but last season they only lost five games. David Moyes was not producing expected results, he had to be sacked…and that was what Manchester United did.
Moyes was in charge for just 10 months at united during which the red devils experienced their worst run in decades. He was replaced with club veteran Ryan Giggs, who will be in charge till the end of the season.
Here is Moyes’ statement after his sack:
“To have been appointed as manager of Manchester United, one of the
biggest football clubs in the world, was and remains something of which I will always be incredibly proud.
“Taking charge after such a long period of continuous stability and success at the club was inevitably going to be a significant challenge, but it was one which I relished and never had a second thought about taking on.
“The scale of the manager’s job at United is immense, but I have never stepped away from hard work and the same applies to my coaching staff. I thank them for their dedication and loyalty throughout the last season.”
”However, during this period of transition, performances and results have not been what Manchester United and its fans are used to or expect, and I both understand and share their frustration.
“In my short time at the club I have learnt what special places Old Trafford and Carrington are. I would like to thank the United staff for making me feel so welcome and part of the United family from my first day.
“And of course thank you to those fans who have supported me throughout the season. I wish you and the club all the best for the future.
“I have always believed that a manager never stops learning during his career and I know I will take invaluable experience from my time as United’s manager.
“I remain proud to have led the team to the quarter finals of this year’s Champions League and I remain grateful to Sir Alex Ferguson for
believing in my ability and giving me the chance to manage Manchester United.”
