Whoever was going to succeed the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm of Manchester United would not have an easy task. Back in 2013, David Moyes arrived at Old Trafford to replace his compatriot – and proved unworthy. But his bravery and determination still earned a lot of respect for the man who is now trying to bring back the glory days of Sir Alex.Erik ten Hag says he greatly admires Moyes and his bravery in trying to follow Ferguson in the red half of Manchester. Moyes was sacked with four Premier League games remaining in his first season in charge after Champions League qualification became a mathematical impossibility. The Scot’s time at Old Trafford will forever stain his impressive resume, but he has done well to restore pride with his success over two spells at West Ham.1986-2013 ➖ 27 years ◾️ Sir Alex Ferguson 🏴 2013-2022 ➖ 9 years ▪️David Moyes 🏴 ▪️Louis Van Gaal 🇳🇱 ▪️Jose Mourinho 🇵🇹 ▪️Ole Gunnar Solskjær 🇳🇴 ▪️Ralf Rangnick* 🇩🇪 ▪️Eric ten Hag 🇳🇱— Saddick Adams (@SaddickAdams) April 21, 2022 Moyes now faces another tough test in trying to keep the Hammers in the Premier League this season, and ahead of their meeting with United, Ten Hag was asked if he’s glad it wasn’t him who was tasked with trying to replace Ferguson.”It is hypothetical, so you never know, but it is quite clear that when you have to succeed Sir Alex, that is a big challenge and a really difficult job to do. He did it and had the bravery to do it, that is why I admire him. He is also that long in the job already with many clubs in the Premier League. He is a great manager with a lot of skills. I know my team has to be at their best on Sunday, and we have to play our maximum if we want to get the result we need, which is a win.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7234406##Manchester United must forget the Brighton defeat and put three points on the board so they can stay in the Premier League top four and make it into next season’s UEFA Champions League. Moyes’ West Ham have been struggling for most of the season and could really use a point or three from the clash at London Stadium.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 35SaturdayWolverhampton – Aston Villa 1-0 (1-0)/Toti 9/Bournemouth – Chelsea 1-3 (1-1)/Vina 21 – Gallagher 9 – Badiashile 82/Tottenham – Crystal Palace 1-0 (1-0)/Kane 45+1/Manchester City – Leeds United 2-1 (2-0)/Gundogan 19, 27 – Rodrigo 85/Liverpool – Brentford 1-0 (1-0)/Salah 13/Sunday18.30: (2.55) Newcastle (3.50) Arsenal (2.95)21.00: (3.60) West Ham (3.60) Man.Utd.
