Ruben Amorim admits David Moyes is doing a better job than him this season as the sixth Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired prepares to take on the first to try his hand at Old Trafford.. Moyes lasted less than a full season after being appointed from Everton to replace Ferguson, but the job has proven to be something of a poisoned chalice across 11 dispiriting seasons.. Saturday’s fixture will be the first time United have played Everton while sitting below them in the Premier League table since Moyes’ final game in charge in April 2014. The Scot returned to Goodison Park in January and it says a lot about how desperate United’s campaign is that the Toffees have had to change manager to avoid a relegation scrap.. Moyes has had exactly the kind of impact that Everton would have been hoping for, winning four of his six league games in charge to steer them away from relegation trouble and they are now one place and one point above United in the table.. Moyes has won as many Premier League games in a month as Amorim has in three at Old Trafford, with the Portuguese producing just four wins from his 14 league fixtures in charge.. And the 40-year-old offered a withering take on his own failings in the job since replacing Erik ten Hag in November when he was asked why Moyes had had the kind of new manager bounce that he had been unable to inspire.. “Simple thing is that David Moyes is doing a better job than me, it’s quite simple,” said Amorim.. “And then small things like winning one game, winning two games, that belief. The pressure is not the same. We have to give merit to the players of Everton and especially to the coach of Everton and we need to do the same.”. There have been reports that some players are questioning whether Amorim’s methods will ever be successful, but he insists he hasn’t picked up that vibe in training, even if the struggles are clearer in games.. “I don’t feel it in training, if you watch our games you can sometimes have that sensation but I’m not worried about that,” he said. “If they are not convinced it’s my job to change their minds and I’m quite good at that.. “If we win two games or even if we win one game, even the next one at Everton, everything changes slowly. When you win it’s so much easier to take the doubts out of the minds of the players..
