Rio Ferdinand has criticised David Moyes for his negative and confusing tactics as well as banning the players from eating chips before a match.
“Footballers are creatures of habit and for as long as I can remember at United, it was a ritual that we had low-fat chips the night before a game. We loved our chips,” Ferdinand said. “But Moyes comes in and, after his first week, he says we can’t have chips any more.
“Then suddenly, for no good reason we could see, it was “no chips”. It’s not something to go to the barricades over. But all the lads were p***ed off. And guess what happened after Moyes left and Ryan Giggs took over?
“Moyes has been gone about 20 minutes, we’re on the bikes warming up for the first training session without him and one of the lads says: “You know what? We’ve got to get onto Giggsy. We’ve got to get him to get us our f***ing chips back.”
