Former Manchester United boss David Moyes felt he needed more time to overhaul the squad he inherited.

Moyes believed he took on an "ageing squad".

He told the Mirror: I had a really good squad, but an ageing squad. I only signed two players, other managers have signed lots. I didn't think United needed to sign bundles of players, but needed to do it gradually.

What you would ideally do at most clubs is sign three or four senior players a year. I would still try to follow that. Manchester United could never be a revolution. It has to be evolution. I wanted to follow all those things that Manchester United stood for and felt that was the way to go about it.

I didn't think I was going to be under pressure after six or 10 months because that wasn't the club's values. Maybe I was naive and I should have realised that quicker.

It was a squad which was changing and ageing, and very attached to the previous manager and rightly so. It was going to take a bit of time for them to get used to me but I wouldn't have changed or altered what I did."
