"When Moyes arrived, he came in with a mentality the complete opposite of what United required the Portuguese tells FourFourTwo. After Ferguson left, that dressing room needed a manager who understood the club's culture, someone strong-willed enough to handle players of that stature and used to winning with big teams. Moyes wasn't. He arrived with a small-club mentality and made poor decisions. Above all, it was about bad man-management."
"When you have high-quality players, you can't waste them by taking away their confidence or devaluing them that happened to me. At first he told me one thing, shortly afterwards he changed completely. You can't convince a player to stay by telling him he's fundamental to the team, then behave in the opposite way. He repeated that United depended on me, that things didn't work without me, and that speech convinced me to renew my contract."
After Sir Alex Ferguson's 26-year tenure ended in 2013, Manchester United appointed David Moyes as manager. Moyes failed to maintain standards and was sacked in April 2014 with the club seventh in the Premier League and the title defence collapsing. The dressing room required a leader who understood club culture, commanded strong authority and had experience winning at big clubs. Moyes arrived with a small-club mentality, made poor decisions and demonstrated weak man-management. High-quality players lost confidence and felt devalued after inconsistent messages and promises that were later contradicted, which contributed to player dissatisfaction and Moyes' short-lived tenure.
