The Scot says he has “moved on” from his sacking but says the days
of forward planning at Old Trafford could be gone, and insisted he
always had the support of Sir Alex Ferguson
David Moyes says that the days of long-term planning at Manchester
United are gone, having broken his silence following his sacking in
April.
The Scot was dismissed following a turbulent reign at Old Trafford
which saw United slip from top of the Premier League to seventh, with
the club missing out on European qualification.

And Moyes has now claimed it was “unfortunate” that he was not given
more time to make his mark on the United squad, and believes his sacking
could signal the end of long-term projects at the club, with
62-year-old Louis van Gaal installed as his successor.
Writing in the Sunday Times he also took time to thank the United
fans, saying: “I never had the chance to thank the Manchester United
supporters for the backing they gave me during my time as manager. I
wish them every success in the future.
“They now appreciate, I am sure, that things are changing at their
club and it could well be that gone are the days of long-term planning.
They were fully aware of the task I had. It was unfortunate I wasn’t
given more time to succeed.”
Moyes, however, claims to have “moved on” from his sacking, though he
is undecided as to whether he will look to take up a new job elsewhere
or go on holiday.
“Since leaving, I have received some very good offers and am tempted
by one or two of them,” he added. “I have not closed the door on
anything and am open-minded about my next step in management, and
whether it will be in the UK or abroad.
“Another possibility is that I may choose to have a break and enjoy
watching and observing football throughout the world. What I do know for
sure is that I have moved on.”
And Moyes also praised Sir Alex Ferguson for the support he offered,
claiming he tried to implement his advice as best he could, but insists
“it was never going to all come together in a few weeks, or months.”
He added: “I have spoken to Sir Alex Ferguson on several occasions
and we met recently at a dinner in London. I believe I had nothing but
support from him.
“He advised me of some changes that had to be made. I took his advice
and started to implement the necessary changes. I became aware of other
changes that had to be made and put plans in place.” {GOAL}
