Former Manchester United fullback Fabio da Silva has taken aim at West Ham manager David Moyes.

Fabio insists Moyes wasn't a good fit for United.

He told the Mirror: "He (Moyes) came from Everton and I think he came with an expectation that he was going to see perfection in every training session.

“For him to come into the club and tell us what the standard was supposed to be was just one sign that the job was too big for him.

“Rio (Ferdinand) was just one of the players who were – and there is no other way to put it – bigger than him in football.

“You have a manager who hasn't won anything who came in and tried to tell a squad with a history of winning, without getting to know them, what their own standard was.

“Long ball was Plan B for Manchester United. But it was used as David's Plan A."
