EPL: Man Utd appointed wrong manager after Alex Ferguson left – Ratcliffe

Manchester United co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has criticised the club’s decision to replace Sir Alex Ferguson with David Moyes.

In an interview with The Times, Ratcliffe spoke about the decisions of previous United administrations.

Ferguson stepped down in 2013 and was replaced by fellow Scot, Moyes.

Ratcliffe has now questioned Moyes’ lack of silverware, and inexperience of dealing with the very best players.

He said: “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.

“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.”
