Man Utd News: David Beckham Backs Boss David Moyes

Sky Sports News, Beckham said:

"I€™m sure he has had lot of mentoring, he is one of those managers that has always picked up the phone and spoken to Sir Alex."It was always going to be difficult job for whoever succeeded Sir Alex because of what the manager has brought to Manchester United, what he has brought to the game."It€™s going to be interesting, but I still think United will win the league. I€™m a Manchester United fan!"But the same players are there and I€™m sure a few more will be added over the next few weeks. Being manager of Man Utd is a great job."
The 115-time England international believes that the appointment of former team mates of his at Old Trafford, Ryan Giggs and Phil Neville as coaches will be beneficial to both Moyes and the club. Beckham said:
"It€™s great about having a legacy and Manchester United have the biggest. Ryan Giggs has been there so many years and all the players look up to him. Phil Neville has gone back, such a talented person and coach."Obviously Gary Neville was involved in the club and Nicky Butt is involved with the reserves. So many of the young players respect them and look up to them. It€™s important to have that."
David Moyes€™ first competitive match as Manchester United boss is on Sunday 11th August against Wigan Athletic in the Community Shield. The Red Devils start their first Premier League campaign without Sir Alex Ferguson with matches against Swansea City (away), Chelsea (home), Liverpool (away) to follow.
