Bobby Charlton "Absolutely Certain" David Moyes Is The Right Man

Bobby Charlton acknowledged that Manchester United have played "really, really badly" this season in an interview with the BBC today. However, this does not mean the job of the man in charge is under threat.

It doesn't mean we are going to change everything. I'm absolutely certain that we picked the right man.

Bobby Charlton was one of Alex Ferguson staunchest advocates in the Manchester United boardroom back in the dark days of 1989/90 and has insisted that Ferguson's sacking was not imminent, as is often claimed, before their victory over Nottingham Forest in the Third Round FA Cup.

The media were the ones who were pushing. If Alex Ferguson got sacked it would have been a really good story for them. In fairness, their philosophy was based on what they had before. If a manager was unsuccessful, you sack him. But behind the scenes, Alex was already really successful. There was not a thought about the future of Alex Ferguson at this club.

Charlton was adamant that the boardroom did not to be persuaded to keep on Ferguson, insisting "I didn’t have to say anything. They all knew.”

Before tonight's fear-inducing Manchester derby, he is saying the same about David Moyes.
