In an interview in The Mail on Sunday, the former Manchester United manager also takes a swipe at the way he first heard the news of his sacking from the media rather than directly from the club.
He tells how he turned up at 4am on April 22 at United’s training ground to train alone, knowing from the media he was about to be sacked but without having been told by the club.
“I was devastated to lose the job because it was something I felt I could make a real success of. We knew it was going to take time to make the necessary changes. It was going to take time to evolve. But we were in the process of making other important changes. In the end, I don’t feel I was given time to succeed or fail.”
Moyes was sacked after just 10 months in the role. His successor, Louis van Gaal, took charge of his first Premier League game on Saturday, when United lost 2-1 at home to Swansea City — a team they beat 4-1 under Moyes last season.
United slumped alarmingly under Moyes, eventually finishing the season in seventh place, but he feels he could have proven himself a worthy replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson if the club had shown more patience
