Lou Macari believes
Sir Alex Ferguson was well aware of Manchester United’s squad frailties – and
that could be the reason why he retired at the end of last season.
The Scot stepped down after 26-years in
charge at Old Trafford and handed the reins to David Moyes, who has since
struggled to impose himself at the Premier League champions.
The Red Devils have started the season poorly
and are currently 12th in the table, following a 2-1 home defeat to West Brom. And former midfielder Macari claims Fergie
could see this situation occurring last season.
“He’s always been a good judge of
everything,” he told Hawksbee and Jacobs. “When he shocked everyone and
said he was retiring, I thought, 'is he aware of what’s around the corner,
is he taking the view that one or two of his best players are coming to an
end?'. And Macari added Moyes should have improved
the squad further during the transfer window.
“Every team in the country needs new blood,”
he said. “The supporters get tired of watching the same players.
“I just felt this summer he needed to
bring in some news players. They brought in one main player [Marouane Fellaini] but he wasn’t the sort of player
the supporters wanted to see. They wanted a little ball playing midfielder.”
