Former manager Alex Ferguson maintains Manchester United's process to replace him with David Moyes was "perfect".
Ferguson ended his 26-year tenure with United at the end of the 2012-13 Premier League season, with then-Everton manager Moyes revealed as his successor a day later.
"Once I'd conveyed it [his decision to retire] to the Glazers, then the process started of looking for successors," Ferguson said at his book launch on Monday, according to the Daily Mail.
"We chose David Moyes. He had been consistent in his job at Everton, had a good spell there - 11 years and showed appetite. No one knew apart from the Glazers, David Gill and myself.
"When we appointed him, the press were enthusiastic for a British manager. Unfortunately, somehow it didn't work out for David. The process was perfect. It was a good process."
