Former Manchester United boss David Moyes has hit out at the club's transfer policy.

The Scot, who was in charge in the 2013-14 season, believes there has been a lack of direction in the market since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.

He told the Mirror: "For a while it would be difficult to know what direction United have gone in.

"Whether they have been signing players for marketing, which they are fantastic at, or whether it has been signing players for on the pitch, I am not quite sure.

"Manchester United's values weren't always to buy the most expensive players but to do it their way which was bringing in the boys from the academy and picking up the best young players.

"I never thought they were a club who thought it was all about spending the money, but if they needed to, they could."
