Unfortunate David Moyes was right man for United, maintains Fergie

Alex Ferguson has insisted Manchester United did not make a mistake in appointing David Moyes as his successor as manager.

Moyes left Everton to take charge at Old Trafford following Ferguson’s retirement in 2013 but lasted just 10 months before being sacked.

Ferguson, who recommended Moyes, recently suggested the former Everton boss had not been first choice but defended the process by which he was appointed.
