Fergie did NOT leave United in decline – according to the man himself of course

In an update of his revealing and controversial autobiography Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that the United he passed onto David Moyes was categorically NOT in decline.

Moyes inherited a Premier League winning team but endured a season full of disasters and loss of form which saw his club finish an unbelievably low seventh and led to his own dismissal after just one year in charge.

Ever since Sir Alex has been accused of being the root cause of Moyes’ inevitable failure but the 72 year old insists that it was in fact Moyes’ introduction of a ‘slow playing style’ that confused and destroyed his squad.
