Moyes says United needed long term rebuild when he took over in 2013

David Moyes said United needed a long term rebuild when he succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.

The upheaval at Old Trafford shows a departure from the club’s values.

Speaking before Monday’s return to Old Trafford with Everton, Moyes frankly admitted his 11-month spell barely worked.

However, he insisted it has been consigned firmly to the past.

He added United’s wait for a 21st league title has not surprised him.

Ahead of Everton’s visit to Old Trafford, Moyes reflected on the long term plan.

Still, the club faced upheaval and questions about its direction, and Moyes remains focused.

Yet United still chase the title and a sense of stability under new leadership.

Moyes left United after a challenging spell, but this week Everton arrive in confident mood.

The weekend clash will test both sides as they seek momentum.
