”Moyes’ Sack Was Unprofessional” LMA Tells United

The League Managers Association (LMA) has blasted Manchester United for the ‘unprofessional’ way they axed David Moyes.

LMA chief Richard Bevan hit out at the champions, claiming it was wrong that Moyes had learnt of his fate through the media almost 12 hours before he was actually sacked.
Moyes was given his marching orders on Tuesday morning after a disastrous 10 months in charge at Old Trafford.

But he was already a dead man walking by the time he was put out of his misery by United chief executive Ed Woodward.

Bevan said: “The LMA is very disappointed with the nature of David’s departure from Manchester United and to read extensive reports in the press, confirming David’s sacking, before David himself had been spoken to officially by the club.

“Throughout his time at United, David, as he always does, has conducted himself with integrity and professionalism, values that he believes in and that have been strongly associated with the club and its rich tradition.

“It is therefore sad to see the end of David’s tenure at United being handled in an unprofessional manner.”

“The decision was not taken until late Monday night and was communicated face-to-face first thing on Tuesday morning.

“When reports started emerging on internet news sites on Monday afternoon, no decision had been taken at that time.”

Meanwhile, caretaker player-boss Ryan Giggs has ordered United to get their swagger back.

Giggs has been placed in temporary  charge until the end of the season and believes his first job is to boost United’s broken confidence.

Giggs was joined on the coaching staff by fellow United legend Paul Scholes on Wednesday.

The pair took training along with ex-Old Trafford stars Nicky Butt and Phil Neville who collectively have 2,453 United appearances under their belts and were part of the famed ‘Class of ’92’.

Former boss Moyes was understood to have lost the dressing room with accusations that he used negative tactics and gave his stars instructions they struggled to follow.

But Giggs has vowed to do things differently for the final four games, starting against Norwich on Saturday, and wants United to go back to the swashbuckling style of football made famous under Sir Alex Ferguson.
