Phil Neville has branded Manchester United’s miserable season under failed boss David Moyes as a complete disaster.
Former United defender Neville was a member of Moyes’ coaching staff last term as they limped to a dismal seventh place finish in the Premier League just one year after being crowned champions in Alex Ferguson’s final season.
The 37-year-old, who played under Moyes at Everton, has since left Old Trafford following the arrival of Louis van Gaal as United’s new boss.
But that hasn’t stopped Neville reflecting on what went wrong during one of the worst season’s in United’s illustrious history.
“I’ve had sleepless nights thinking about what happened last year,” Neville told the BBC’s Test Match Special.
“There is part of me that thinks it was an impossible job to follow Sir Alex Ferguson. I think Van Gaal has an easier task now, following the man that followed Sir Alex. It was a really difficult job for David Moyes and I think rather than blame him, there has to be collective responsibility taken throughout the whole club.
“Last year was a complete failure, and a disaster from my point of view.”
But Neville remains a fan of the Scot despite his United woe and believes he will bounce back when he returns to management.
