Moyes 'understands' Man U's 'frustration' behind axing decision

Sacked Manchester United boss David Moyes has said that understands and shares the club's frustration that led to his axing, as the results had not been what the Premier League side and its fans are used to expect.

Moyes, who was sacked by United on Tuesday just 10 months after taking charge of the club, said that he would take invaluable experience from his time as the club's manager.

Moyes said that he remains proud to have led United, who have been denied a place in next season's Champions League after slumping to the seventh position in the Premier League, to the quarterfinals of this year's prestigious European competition, Telegraph.com.au reported.

Moyes said that he is also grateful to Sir Alex Ferguson for giving him the chance to manage United, adding that taking charge after such a long period of continuous stability and success at the club was inevitably going to be a significant challenge.

The Scot said that the scale of the manager's job at United is immense, but he never stepped away from hard work and that the same applied to his coaching staff.

The former Everton boss had appointed Phil Neville, Chris Woods, Steve Round and Jimmy Lumsden as his coaching staff.

However, Neville and Woods will assist United's veteran player and current temporary coach Ryan Giggs, who became a member of Moyes' coaching staff at the beginning of the season, as a part of the club's backroom staff, while Round and Lumsden have been fired, the report added.
