Manchester United assistant manager, Steve Round, has backed David Moyes by admitting that the Scot has what it takes to be a success at Manchester United.

“Without a doubt David was ready for this job. I had five years at Everton with him and he impressed me every day. There is not a day goes by where you take your foot off the gas with him. He is 100 per cent every day with an incredible work ethic,” he told the Manchester Evening News.

“He also has an incredible desire to succeed. He now has the stature and presence to move to a club like this. I really do believe he will be a big success here,” Round added.

The Red Devils have won only one match of their opening three fixtures, collecting just four points. However, Round says he is convinced about the quality that Moyes possess.

“Now I have been in this club and environment I can understand why Sir Alex and the board appointed him, to keep that continuity, work ethic, drive and feeling about the club going. It was very important to them and I can understand now that I have been here and lived it. They were made for each other,” he said.

Round also addressed the lack of transfer activity by Manchester United and also said that the capture of Marouane Fellaini was a good business.

“He is a lot better footballer than he gets credit for and he has good passing ability. He doesn’t have the same range as a Michael Carrick in his long passing but his continuity and the way he keeps the ball and short passing is very good,” he said.
