Wayne Rooney: At United there was a lack of respect towards David Moyes

Manchester United's Scottish manager David Moyes (R) takes part in a training session with Manchester United's English striker Wayne Rooney (L) at their Carrington training complex in Manchester, northwest England, on March 18, 2014

Wayne Rooney says lack of respect from Manchester United players meant David Moyes didn't have a fair opportunity to succeed at Old Trafford. 

“The players never gave David Moyes a chance at Manchester United," Rooney told Sky's Stick to Football podcast. "I think it was always going to be tough for him. I know David from when he was at Everton, and he was never the same person at Manchester United. Obviously, it was a massive change for him, so I don’t think he did as well as he would’ve liked, but I also think there was a lack of respect from the senior players towards him, and they weren’t having him which was tough for him."
