Nemanja Vidic: What it was really like to play under David Moyes at Manchester United

NEMANJA VIDIC has revealed Manchester United players were involved in heated exchanges with each other this season - but NEVER at David Moyes.

      

Moyes succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson as manager on a six-year contract but was sacked last month, United eventually finishing 22 points behind table-topping Manchester City and failing to qualify for Europe.
Inter Milan-bound Vidic has followed Moyes out the door and he has moved to defend his former boss.
"People end up saying the players are not good enough and we need to buy better ones," he told BBC Sport.
"It was a bad time and the players could have done better. But everyone lost belief in the team.
"The players did argue among ourselves - but we were arguing to get better.
"We never argued with the manager or his assistants. Never.
"People said we lost faith in David Moyes. We didn't. We knew he was trying to build something."

     

Moyes' tactics were often criticised, notably after the 2-2 draw with relegated Fulham when United racked up 81 largely aimless crosses before conceding a stoppage-time equaliser.
Vidic, who spent eight-and-a-half years at United, told the Daily Telegraph: "I am not saying that the David Moyes way was bad, but these players feel more comfortable playing a certain way.
"[He] lost his job because he did not succeed in doing what he wanted to achieve. He was really committed to the job and desperately wanted to do well.
"But unfortunately, it didn't happen and we are all sad."
