Are Manchester United right to sack David Moyes? As David Moyes’s reign unravelled on Monday, tales emerged of senior Manchester United  players beating a path to the door of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Cheshire home to urge their old manager to push for change. The message was clear: they no longer stood by Moyes and neither should United if the empire Ferguson built was not going to continue crumbling, brick by brick. There was no more staunch a supporter of Moyes than his fellow Scot. After all, it was Ferguson who had called the Everton manager away from a shopping trip with his wife, Pamela, to that same address in Wilmslow to offer him the job last May when the ill-fated legend of ‘The Chosen One’ was born.
