Moyes says United needed a long-term rebuild in 2013 as Everton visit Old Trafford

David Moyes says Manchester United needed a long-term rebuild when he took over in 2013.

Ahead of Everton’s Monday visit to Old Trafford, he elaborated.

Nevertheless, Moyes concedes his 11-month United tenure did not work for various reasons.

In addition, he says the upheaval since Ferguson’s retirement marks a break from the club’s traditional values.

Despite inheriting a title-winning squad, he argues United still awaits a 21st league crown.

Furthermore, the interview underscores a broader shift away from the Ferguson era.

Moyes insists the rebuild must be patient and sustainable rather than a quick fix.

Meanwhile, Everton travel to Manchester in a test of United’s evolving approach.

Ultimately, he says the past should stay behind as the present demands focus.

TLDR

  • United needed a long-term rebuild in 2013, Moyes says
  • The United tenure is framed as transitional rather than definitive
  • Everton visit Old Trafford amid discussions of change
