Manchester United manager David Moyes has no need to fear sack from Old Trafford, says Sir Alex Ferguson Former manager Sir Alex Ferguson backs David Moyes side to finish the season in style and says that Manchester United are not a sacking club. Sir Alex Ferguson has stepped into Manchester United’s deepening crisis to insist that the club retain their full support for David Moyes and has backed his beleaguered successor to deliver a strong finish to the season. Moyes has come under scrutiny after a difficult start to life at Old Trafford, with Manchester United out of the Premier League title race and both cups. The former Everton manager was chosen by Ferguson to succeed him but his first campaign at Old Trafford has been a struggle, with his team 14 points behind leaders Arsenal. Moyes’s hopes of securing a place in the top four are also under threat but Ferguson, whose reign lasted 27 years, has reiterated his position is safe. “I can never understand why clubs change managers so quickly,” he said. “They [board members] must discuss the qualities of the manager they are going to offer the job to [and] you must look at his CV – the character, the philosophy he has, surely. “Now if that is the way they have gone about giving the man the job, why don’t they persist with it? It seems so stupid to me.” “There is no need to go down that road [of sacking managers]. United can do anything. They have got that great philosophy and history, they will always do well.”
