15 pictures of David Moyes looking out of his depth at Manchester United

Poor old Dave was shown the door this morning.

HAVING SPENT SO much of his career as manager of Everton and without a major trophy to his name, stepping into English football’s biggest shoes was never going to be an easy task for David Moyes. But surely nobody expected he would fail quite as spectacularly as this.

Here are some of the most telling images from a season in which Manchester United found David Moyes’ level.

He never fully embraced Fred.

No need to overreact. It’s just another home defeat, right?

Outshone by Mark Hughes, even worse.

Chill out, Dave. They’re only autographs.

Getting to the fourth official second is unforgivable at this level.

No use complaining. Fellaini was your call.

Nobody can point at their watch like Fergie, but…

Even the good times looked a little sad.

One of these men WANT that throw-in, one of these man WANT the title.

    What’s better than replacing a manager who has no experience at the top level of management , replace him with someone with ZERO experience.

    Terrible decision. I’d say it’s going to take years for UTD to get back into Europe.

    What’s the story with Moyes wearing training ground attire for his last match in charge versus Everton. Wasn’t he usually suited and booted while roaming the touch line ? Perhaps he was preparing for life on the dole .
