An exclusive insight into the greatest manager Britain has ever had from the man who spent his whole career at Manchester United and knows him best.

It is always a sign of a classic team that you can name the full line-up without pausing for thought. I am still able to automatically reel off Jose Mourinho’s great Chelsea team of 2005.

David Moyes's job is to change the perception surrounding him and the club at present. The only way to do that is on the pitch when the noise stops, the opinions stop and whatever people are saying doesn't matter any more. Saturday was the first step.
