Rio Ferdinand backs David Moyes to succeed at Old Trafford

Manchester United veteran star, Rio Ferdinand, has stated that the newly appointed manager will help United acquire more titles in the upcoming season. The defender has been supportive of the Scot, saying that the attitude of the manager is perfect for the team.

Speaking to BBC, Ferdinand said: “It’s been good and the manager has left it open to us to continue what we doing to get us to what we were doing last season.

“That’s been fantastic for me, because you get worried a little bit and think ‘he’s a new manager, is he going to be up to letting us continue our regimes that we’re involved in?’ but it’s a sign of a great manager that he has been.

“He’s quick to join in with the banter, but when it’s work time, it’s work time and I think that’s what the players like.

“The players at Manchester United aren’t there to mess about on the training pitch, we’re there to enjoy ourselves but to be drilled and make sure we’re working hard to all go in the same direction and that’s to be successful.

Although Manchester United have not performed well in the recent friendlies, Rio Ferdinand assures the fans that Moyes will definitely fit into the boots of their legendary ex-manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
