Sir Jim Ratcliffe has named the manager he would have never hired at Manchester United.
Back in 2013, legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson retired on the back of winning the Premier League.
During his time in charge, Ferguson led the Red Devils to multiple trophies, including 13 league titles and two Champions Leagues.

However, ever since the Scotsman retired, United have struggled to compete at the top level.
The likes of David Moyes, Jose Mourinho, Louis van Gaal and Erik ten Hag have all tried and failed to bring glory back to Old Trafford.
Speaking in a recent interview, United co-owner and INEOS boss Ratcliffe picked out Moyes as someone he would not have hired to succeed Ferguson.

He said to The Times: "Look, I like David Moyes, and I think he’s a really good manager, but to go from Sir Alex Ferguson to Moyes is not where I would have gone.
"Moyes stepped into the shoes of Ferguson, who’s won the Premier League 13 times, who won the Champions League twice and then you’re handing over to a guy that has never managed big players and had never won anything. He’s not necessarily got the personality to stand in front of them all."
Ratcliffe continued: "And I don’t think Real Madrid would have made that choice as coach. If you look at coaches, a club can’t always get it right, but they should have found the best chief executive in the world, and the best coach in the world, because Manchester United is the best club in the world. Instead they got both of those decisions wrong."

In total, Moyes managed 51 matches as United boss, winning 27, drawing nine and losing 15.
The Scotsman was eventually sacked in April 2014 after a 2-0 defeat by his former club, Everton. Moyes was temporarily replaced by Ryan Giggs before Van Gaal took over permanently.
