Moyes rejected Fergie advice'

Steele & Phelan: Ousted Steele & Phelan: Ousted
Former Manchester United assistant boss Eric Steele has revealed new manager David Moyes had rejected Sir Alex Ferguson's suggestion not to alter the coaching setup at Old Trafford.

Moyes took over at United following his Scottish compatriot's retirement at the end of last season, with goalkeeping coach Steele being shown the door, along with assistant manager Mike Phelan and first-team coach Rene Meulensteen.
Moyes then brought Chris Woods, Steve Round and Jimmy Lumsden with him from Everton, while former United player Gary Neville was also brought into the coaching setup.


However, the former Toffees boss has since led the Red Devils to their worst start of any Premier League campaign, with the defending champions currently 12th in the standings.

"He (Moyes) spoke to me, Mick and Rene," Steele is quoted as telling fanzine United We Stand. "I told him I thought it (sacking us) was a brave decision.

"He listened to the (former) manager's advice, but he wanted to be his own man."
Steele continued: "I didn't want to leave. Why would I? I knew that David was coming in and wondered who he'd bring.

"You had the United perspective - the manager saying, 'Keep what we've got, keep the continuity, work with them and they'll guide you through. You're taking on a massive machine here. You've gone from Marks and Spencer's to Harrods.'

"Then there's David's viewpoint, which I understand. I know him professionally. I know his work ethic, his hands-on approach.

"I don't blame him for doing what he did. I've been in the game long enough to know how it is.
"But it's ironic, isn't it? You've just been part of a team that has had a great season and won the league. David De Gea's had his best season. Does it make sense that you're not retained to continue the good work? Sadly, that's out of my hands."
