Former Manchester United captain, Nemanja Vidic, has lifted the lid on why David Moyes failed to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.
Moyes was sacked last month after continuing questions over his tactics at United and the way football was being played by the team.
Vidic, who will leave United for Inter Milan this summer, has spoken about why Manchester United were unable to carry on their title winning surge this season.
“The players were being questioned, the manager was being questioned, the club was being questioned,” he said.
“People end up saying the players are not good enough and we need to buy better ones.
“I am not saying we have had a good season. It was a bad time and the players could have done better. But everyone lost belief in the team.”
“I am not saying that the David Moyes way was bad, but these players feel more comfortable playing a certain way of football,” he added.
“You have to respect where you are and what you represent, though, and there is no point speaking about someone who was here, who everyone knows lost his job because he did not succeed in doing what he wanted to achieve.
“The best I can say is that he tried really hard, he was professional. He was really committed to the job and desperately wanted to do well. But unfortunately, it didn’t happen and we are all sad.”
