Former Manchester United boss David Moyes has warned the clubs supporters that it may be some time before they are good enough to challenge for major honours again.
United have failed to challenge for a trophy since the retirement of Alex Ferguson and although they sit just two points off the top of the Premier League, Moyes believes there will be more seasons without the title to come.
“Whoever is manager was going to find it difficult and I think they are going to find it difficult for quite a period to come.
“Following Sir Alex and the success he had over numerous years was going to be hard for anybody to follow.
“It was difficult for me. I was only in very quickly, I think it is a bigger job – it is a longer-term job,” Moyes told The Sun.
“I don’t think it’s a short-term job to get Manchester United back.”
Moyes was recently sacked by Real Sociedad, but the former Everton boss is looking to get back to work and he is confident that he still has a lot to offer any potential suitors.
“Has my reputation taken a battering? No. It should have been enhanced because I now have a knowledge of the Spanish players, the Spanish league and a lot more idea of a different style of play.
“I think my peak years are still to come. I was a young manager at Everton and had 11 great years there. I followed Sir Alex at Manchester United and took a risk by going to Spain, to experience something new, a different culture.
“So wait a minute, let’s put this in perspective. Is this someone who is trying to challenge themselves? Trying to develop? So I hope the best years are to come. I think with more experience I’m probably wiser, calmer.
“You hope you’ll be able to use your knowledge a bit better. I certainly now see myself as a more experienced manager and better for the experiences I’ve had.
