Rio Ferdinand has shared his thoughts on David Moyes’ time as Manchester United manager. Moyes, who had been in charge of Everton for a long time, took over the role from the iconic Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. Moyes’ time at Old Trafford was short-lived, ending in April when the Premier League champions fell to seventh place. Ferdinand discussed the 2013/14 season on the Stick to Football podcast and denied the rumor that Moyes had advised him to emulate Phil Jagielka from Everton. Nonetheless, the Manchester United player discussed the contrast in man-management styles between Moyes and Ferguson, causing discomfort for certain players in the squad. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag admits to discussing contract offers with Mason Mount from Chelsea. How Manchester United should set up their team for the upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea. Ferdinand mentioned how he remembered the small details, such as the places Sir Alex Ferguson would go on Friday nights at the hotel. If he sat at your table on a Saturday morning before a game, it was a sign that someone at your table would not be playing. If you’re not in the squad, you’ll be on the sidelines. David Moyes once said, “I don’t justify my decisions – if someone isn’t playing, they just aren’t playing. If you have a problem, come talk to me on Monday.” He expressed, “Here is who I am and what I’m up to,” and while that deserves respect, success in team sports often hinges on the entire squad rather than just the starting players.
