LONDON. — New Manchester United manager David Moyes insists he is prepared for a backlash from impatient supporters.
Moyes is still settling into his post at Old Trafford after replacing Sir Alex Ferguson in June, and some fans are already questioning the club’s lack of transfer activity since his arrival.
But the former Everton boss believes a sense of perspective is required as he sets about stamping his own mark at the club.
“If you win one game folk will think you are good. If you lose one folk will think you are rubbish,” said Moyes.
“You hope there is a little bit of sense and people understand where you are going. It is a big job. It is a new job. It will take time, as it would for anybody else.”
And Moyes is adamant United can compete in the transfer market despite even more competition with the riches now flowing in France at Paris St Germain and Monaco.
“That is not something Manchester United are frightened of,” Moyes added. “Manchester United are more than happy to compete with all of the teams.
“There has been a change in the dynamic because of PSG coming on the scene recently. That has altered things.
“But Manchester United will always compete. One thing it has got is the history. It has got the name. It has got the success. That is a big pull for any player.”
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has confirmed he failed in an attempt to lure Shinji Kagawa away from Manchester United.
Kagawa left Dortmund for United last summer after enjoying a successful two-year spell at Signal Iduna Park.
The Japanese ace endured a frustrating first season at Old Trafford, struggling to hold down a regular place in the United side due to injuries.
Kagawa has been linked with a move back to Dortmund this summer and Klopp admits he spoke to the playmaker, but that he wants to stay with the Premier League champions.
“This is not an issue for him this year, not even for us,” Klopp told Sky Deutschland.
“It was clear relatively quickly, Shinji wants to prevail this year at Manchester United. I did not expect a different answer, you just have to ask even once.” — Sky Sports.
