Javier Hernandez slams 'stubborn' David Moyes over his ill-fated seven months as Manchester United boss, claiming his appointment is a 'mistake that is still haunting' Old Trafford

Javier Hernandez has criticised David Moyes' tenure as Manchester United manager claiming his 'stubbornness' was why he only lasted seven months in the Old Trafford hot seat.

Moyes came in to replace Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 following United's last Premier League title success, but the champions' form hit a downward spiral during his reign and he was dismissed just seven months into the job with the Red Devils down in seventh and well outside a Champions League place.

Hernandez was part of the squad that suffered such a sudden decline. Speaking to his former United team-mate Rio Ferdinand on the former defender's The Locker Room show, he claims that Moyes' refusal to inherit some of Ferguson's ways of working was part of his downfall.
