On April 22nd 2014, David Moyes was handed his marching orders, just ten months after signing a six year deal. Fans will argue about the nature of his sacking, with the media seemingly catching wind of it before the man himself. Others will argue, with Moyes himself agreeing, that he just simply was not given enough time. Stating his plan would need a time consuming evolution and not a drastic revolution.
Should he have been given more time? His managed only 51 games, winning 27, losing 15 and drawing nine ending his spell with a 53% record. It was an interesting time to be a United fan, some arguing it was the biggest misstep in club history, while others like club legend Peter Schmeichel saying United should fell regret over letting him go.
Both parties have struggled to gain their reputation back. Moyes had a disastrous spell in Spain for example, butfound his feet again at West Ham a good while later. Meanwhile Manchester Untied continued to change philosophy with Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho taking charge before settling with United favorite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
