Former Manchester United boss David Moyes faced obstacles at board level to land his transfer targets, it has been revealed.
It was demanded from Moyes to justify the cost of his transfer targets during his short time in charge.
The Daily Mail says it is understood Moyes' attempt to sign Porto's Fernando and Eliaquim Mangala last summer was thwarted when he was asked to provide a detailed cost-justification report on the players when the transfer window was near to closing.
