Moyes believes that players often hide at United, knowing that managers will take the blame for poor results.

“I’ve got to say, he’s in a completely different situation,” he declared on the Stick to Football podcast about incoming United head coach Ruben Amorim

“I was really fortunate to take over the champions of England at the time, and also probably coming into a dressing room which had great respect for Alex and what he’d done and all those things.

“I think at the moment, players might be looking now and saying, ‘Hey by the way, if we don’t step up…’. The manager might be coming from a stronger position because these players are going to have to actually step up.

“It’s not always calling the players out, but I see it a little bit where I think the players are quite happy to hide behind managers at the moment, let the managers take the hit.

“I could do with some of them coming out and saying, ‘By the way, I know I’m not quite at it at the moment, I’m not playing well enough just now’.

“We’re not getting much of that – and I actually think Manchester United have got really, really talented players.”
