Still on Former Manchester United player, Rio Ferdinand's Autobiography titled 2sides. He isn't done on opening a can of worms. Yesterday we learnt about how he branded John Terry an idiot over a racial issue that involved his brother Anton and the Chelsea captain in 2011, this time around it's Manchester United's former manager, David Moyes.
Ferdinand who left the Red Devils for QPR after 12 years also spoke on David Moyes' reign at Old Trafford. He described the Scott as embarrassing and his tactics negative and confusing.
Excerpts from his book which is being serialised by the Sun reads.
"He tried to impose a vision, but never seemed to be completely clear what that vision should be. Unintentionally, he created a negative vibe where, with Fergie, it had always been positive. He'd slowly lost us. I didn't enjoy playing under him.
"Sometimes our main tactic was the long, high, diagonal cross. It was embarrassing. In one home game against Fulham we had 81 crosses! I was thinking, why are we doing this? Andy Carroll doesn't play for us!
Moyes' innovations led to negativity and confusion. It was always how to stop the other side. Moyes set us up not to lose. We'd been accustomed to playing to win."
The worst single moment of his career at the clun was when Moyes dropped him for last season's Champions League quarterfinal clash against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
Ferdinand added. "It killed me. Inside I wanted to scream and grab him. I'm a team player, so I just had to bite my tongue and stand there. It was probably the worst single moment I ever had at United. I'd never been dropped for a big game like that - and to drop that on me in front of everybody."
