David Moyes is someone who knows all about the pressure of managing Manchester United, but the Scot believes the club's biggest issue isn't the current boss or playing staff.
Moyes is currently out of work after leaving West Ham at the end of the season, and speaking on William Hill’s podcast, Up Front with Simon Jordan, he praised Erik ten Hag's determination since joining the club but also pinpointed United's biggest issue right now.
The 61-year-old says the club lacks a winning culture and its primary problem is their noisy Manchester neighbours.
He said, “Erik ten Hag is fighting it at the moment, but he’s done well given the massive amount of pressure on him. Sometimes, issues with the manager are easy for the players to use as excuses.
"Players at United used to have an unbelievable winning culture inside the club. Ten Hag has been fighting a battle for the past two years, and let’s not forget he’s won two trophies in that time. I admire him for his determination to fight back against the criticism.
“There was a situation in the summer where people were talking about the security of his job, and I disagree with that, I think it’s a horrible position to put the manager, he’s dealt with that with incredible dignity. He’s come back and is challenging and fighting, he wants to make it right.
“Overall, United’s biggest problem isn’t their manager or their players, it’s Manchester City and Pep Guardiola.”
