Former Manchester United manager David Moyes has spoken out in support of Erik ten Hag, praising the Dutchman for the work he’s doing at Old Trafford, despite the club’s recent struggles on the pitch. Ten Hag, who took over the reins at United in 2022, has faced increasing pressure as the team has managed only one win in their last five matches across all competitions, sparking criticism from fans and pundits alike.

Moyes, who had a brief and turbulent stint at Manchester United in 2013-2014 after succeeding the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, understands the challenges that come with managing such a massive club. In an interview, the current West Ham United manager expressed his admiration for Ten Hag's efforts in revitalizing the club.

"I think Erik is doing a brilliant job at Manchester United," Moyes said. "Managing United is not easy; it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world with immense expectations. People need to give him time, especially when things get tough. Every manager faces difficult moments, and it's about how you navigate through them."

"He’s brought in some excellent players and is instilling a winning mentality in the squad. Sometimes results don't go your way, but I’m confident United will bounce back under his leadership," Moyes added.

Moyes’ supportive words come as a reminder that success at a club like Manchester United doesn’t happen overnight and that Ten Hag still has the backing of influential figures in football.
