Jim Ratcliffe claims manager sacked after 10 months was wrong choice for Man Utd

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has criticized the club's decision to appoint David Moyes as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor back in 2013.

Ferguson was a key figure in the selection process for his successor.But his fellow Scot struggled to have the impact many hoped - and he was sacked by April after less than a year in charge.

In an interview with The Times, Ratcliffe questioned Moyes' lack of experience and silverware.

"Look, I like David Moyes, and I think he's a really good manager, but to go from Sir Alex Ferguson to Moyes is not where I would have gone," Ratcliffe said.

Ratcliffe highlighted the significant gap between Ferguson's achievements and Moyes' resume at the time.

"Moyes stepped into the shoes of Ferguson, who's won the Premier League 13 times, who won the Champions League twice, and then you're handing over to a guy that has never managed big players and had never won anything.

"He's not necessarily got the personality to stand in front of them all."

Since Ferguson retired, the Red Devils have failed to win another Premier League title, and are in a period of transition under new boss Ruben Amorim.
