Sir Alex: Moyes winning a trophy for Man Utd would be an achievement

20 October 2013 - 08:24

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has told reporters that his successor, David Moyes, will do well to win a trophy this season. Moyes has endured a tough start to life as United's new boss as Southampton battled back to earn a point at Old Trafford in a 1-1 draw yesterday.

Moyes has so far struggled in his first seasom as United manager, but he has been heavily backed by many at the club despite early season hiccups. Yesterday's 1-1 draw with Southampton leaves United six points off of top placed Arsenal.<br />

"For David, winning a trophy would be a fantastic achievement no matter what it is -- the League Cup, FA Cup, European Cup or Premier League," Sir Alex said.<br />

"We've always had priorities obviously, and David is aware of that, but I hope he achieves it.<br />

"The key for David is not to look to do anything better or less but just to maintain what the club has been for 20-odd years and keep the success going.<br />

"It is not easy winning a trophy in our league because you could say there are six teams fighting for the league."
