Beckham backs Moyes to succeed at Man United

David Beckham has faith David Moyes is the right
man to lead Manchester United despite struggling
during the early days of his tenure.

The former England captain, who recently revealed
he wanted Sir Alex Ferguson to coach his new
MLS franchise, believes whoever succeeded the
Scot was always going to endure a difficult period
of transition.

Moyes has faced criticism for United's poor league
form following defeats to Liverpool, Manchester
City and West Brom, but the former midfielder is
certain the club can move on from Ferguson's
departure and enjoy success with him at the helm.

"I played with [Moyes] during my loan spell at
Preston and I've seen him progress as a manager
over the years at Everton," the 38-year-old told
talkSPORT.

"I'm really happy for him that he got the job at
United because he’s a really great person and he’s
a talented manger.

It's good to see him there and
the United fans are behind him well which is a
good thing.

"Whoever took over after Sir Alex Ferguson left it
was always going to be a difficult time, a
transitional time, but at the end of the day, it’s like
when a player leaves, Manchester United are still
Manchester United.

"Sir Alex has retired, but David Moyes has taken
over, United always move on when they sell
players and I’m sure they will with Moyes as
manager now."
