Former Manchester United manager David Moyes has told talkSPORT the club have not progressed since he left and MUST start backing their managers again.
Moyes’ short reign has gone down in English football folklore, as the Scot – handpicked by Sir Alex Ferguson as his successor – lasted just nine months in charge at Old Trafford.

Moyes was sacked before finishing his first season as United boss
United have had three permanent managers in the four seasons since his departure, and yet fans are yet to see a dramatic upturn in their fortunes.
Yes, they have won trophies, lifting the FA Cup under Louis van Gaal and sealing a League Cup and Europa League double under Jose Mourinho.
But their standing in the Premier League has barely moved since Moyes’ exit. They may have finished runners-up last season, but this term has shown just how far behind top rivals Manchester City and Liverpool they are.
Manchester United - no progress?
Man United under Moyes:
Premier League finish: 7th, 64 points
Champions League progress: Quarter-finals
Major honours won: 0
Man United this season:
Premier League position: 6th, 65 points
Champions League progress: Quarter-finals
Major honours won: 0
United have also spent well over £500million since Moyes left, and yet the former boss says the club still have the same problems he faced when he was in the dugout.
Speaking on Thursday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Moyes said: “I feel that since I took over to where they are just now, I don’t think there’s an awful lot of difference.
“When I took over it was needing a change and needing a turnaround of players, and that was all going to take time.

Moyes believes Man United have not improved since he left the club
“I feel like in the four years or so since I was managing there, it’s probably not moved on much more.
“It’s quite similar, they’re still saying there needs to be changes and has to be things done.
“That time since I felt hasn’t been used awfully well.â€
Moyes also urged United to back Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and bring back their old transfer philosophy of signing the next generation of star players.
United’s recent managerial history as a huge departure from the norm, following Sir Alex’s trophy-laden 27 year reign at Old Trafford.
After struggling for regular success since the legendary manager’s retirement, Moyes believes the club simply have to stick by their current boss.

The Scot is also concerned the club has lost its way in the transfer market and has been too focused on bringing ready-made superstars to Old Trafford.
“Manchester United stood for so many good things for me,†Moyes added.
“They supported their manager in difficult times, they made sure they got the best young players, they didn’t follow the trends of lots of bother clubs.
“For me, those things have been broken a little bit.

“They always bought young up-and-coming players, there was a different philosophy in the types of players they brought in.
“But now they’ve had to follow the others because they need that instant success.
“They need to give ole time and an opportunity to give it around, but it will be difficult.
“Bringing on all your young players in great, that’s what we really want to do, but it’s not necessarily going to get you results and winning leagues right away.â€
