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."
