Wigan chairman Whelan: Man Utd should've chosen Martinez over Moyes

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan reckons Everton did better out of their manager merry-go-round than Manchester United.p> Whelan believes United should have chosen Roberto Martinez over David Moyes in the summer.

"I think he's the best manager in the world and I was a little surprised that Man U didn't come for him because I knew that Alex was going to retire," Whelan told Sky Sports News.

"Alex had already told me that he was thinking of retiring and I was a bit surprised that Man U didn't. They have still got a great lad in David Moyes, let me say that, he's still a great manager, but Roberto now going to Everton, he will take Everton to places they can only dream about."
