#5 Role in the appointment of David Moyes
Much of the Manchester United legion is misinformed about the realities of David Moyes’ appointment at the club. An appreciable chunk of their fans is still of the belief that Sir Alex Ferguson had nothing to do with it, when clearly, he had an important role in Moyes’ selection as his heir (as would logically be the case, since Ferguson oversaw much of United’s day-to-day work as a manager).
The problem with it is that because of this, the Manchester United fanbase does not assign enough blame for Moyes’ rather catastrophic tenure in charge of the club. Ferguson evidently saw enough merit in Moyes’ appointment in order to pass over the likes of Jose Mourinho – a proven winner in England who would readily have taken charge then, instead of the summer of 2016 as it turned out!
