The QPR defender called the Scot's tactics while Manchester United boss
"embarrassing" in his autobiography but insists that he would be happy to talk his
arguments over in person
Rio Ferdinand says that he would like to meet with David Moyes to discuss his
Manchester United reign and claimed the Scot is a "great man", despite his criticism
of the manager in his autobiography.
The QPR defender claims that Moyes had him "doubting everything" that he knew
due to his preference to train United to stop the opposition, while slamming his
"embarrassing" tactics of resorting to a long-ball game.
Moyes was sacked by the Red Devils in April, to be succeeded by Louis van Gaal,
having failed to guide the club into Europe, yet Ferdinand insists that he has no
problem with the Scot and would welcome the chance to speak with him.
When asked if he would like to talk with Moyes, Ferdinand told CNN World Sport :
"Yes, of course, I've got nothing against him as a person.
"I'm saying that he's a gentleman, a great man. I've never had any bad words to say
about him at all in that respect as a person."
Ferdinand rejects claims that Moyes inherited a squad in decline when he took over
from Sir Alex Ferguson, insisting that the players at his disposal were good enough
to replicate their title success of 2012-13.
"I don't understand how people can say [that]," he remarked. "You've got some
great players throughout the squad. You win the league by 11 points. You've got to
be a top team to do that.
"So [Ferguson] goes and then it all falls apart? So that's his fault? How can people
say that? I don't think the buck stops with Sir Alex Ferguson at all. I think you leave
and you win a trophy. There's not many better ways to go out than that."
