Everyone knows how difficult it is to replace a legendry manager especially if such manager has mentored a club like Manchester United. If we scan the record book, Sir Alex Ferguson is the one person who can stun any opponent by his brilliant soccer mind. No one denies the fact that it would have been difficult for Moyes to take his position after Red Devils won Premier league last season. If we look at his initial few months at Old Trafford, he could not smell a success on any front; may it be on signing of new players in the transfer window or beginning the current league session like a winner. League’s leaderboard clearly shows how devastating United journey has been this summer so far and everyone is blaming only one person: David Moyes. No body seems to be with the new manager except the unexpected former legendry Sir Alex Ferguson who came forward in his defense when the whole world doubts his ability to mentor League defenders. Ferguson can easily guess about the mental stage Moyes would have been passing through now, so he only advices one thing to his successor, i.e., win at least one trophy this season.
League season still has enough matches to recover their early losses while they are already performing well in the Champions League, so Moyes has enough opportunities to retaliate his critics via a stunning comeback. Alex talked about him in his recent interview where he shared his precious piece of advices to 50-year-old Scott, he said, “For David, winning a trophy would be a fantastic achievement no matter what it is — the League Cup, FA Cup, European Cup or Premier League. We’ve always had priorities obviously, and David is aware of that, but I hope he achieves it.
“I remember saying to the board back in David time that the manager is the most important person at the club. He always will be, whether it’s Alex Ferguson, David Moyes or Matt Busby. The most important person in the club is the manager, and that must always be sacrosanct. In fairness, the club have always stuck by that rigid belief.”
He further elaborated how it is to adapt in a strange environment, especially if you are leading a big team, he added, “You must embrace the change. I’ve said it many times: The bus is leaving. If you’re not on the bus you’re left behind, and that applies to the manager as well.
“I think I did that very well, particularly in my last decade. You must have the humility to do that and not think the world should never change because you’re stuck with your ideas and philosophies.”
