David Moyes has opened up about his main regret from his time at Manchester United, and it involves the Glazers and Ed Woodward.
Or, rather, it involves them not being involved.
Moyes will take charge of his 1,000 game as a manager when West Ham travel to Genk and has looked back on his 23 years in the dugout, which has also seen him manage Preston, Everton, Real Sociedad, Sunderland and West Ham.
The Scot was hand-picked by Sir Alex Ferguson to succeed him at Old Trafford having impressed during 11 seasons with Everton.
The dream job last just 10 months as he was sacked after United missed out on the Champions League, and Moyes looked back on one regret of his time.
"I was certainly disappointed after Manchester United because I didn't get offered the job by the Glazers, or by Ed Woodward. I got offered the job from Sir Alex," he said.
"Sir Alex in many ways is the pinnacle of what people see in football in this country. To get that opportunity, it was something I felt I had to take.
“But the lift I got from Real Sociedad when I came out of Manchester United and went to Spain, it was an unbelievable feeling to go and work in a country where we’ve got to say the best footballers come from.
“The journey from there was great and it was a really good time. Sometimes you have to have the bad times to get some good times and get the opportunities."
