Moyes dealing with scrutiny
MANCHESTER United boss David Moyes said yesterday he still needs to come to terms with the level of scrutiny he faces as manager of one of the world's biggest clubs.
The Scot, who has been in the high-profile job for just two weeks after replacing Alex Ferguson, lost his first match with his new side 0-1 against the Thai All Stars in Bangkok on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the club said there is sufficient cash in the kitty to allow Moyes to chase a "stellar player" this season.
The English Premier League champion is "absolutely" able to compete for players in the British pound 60million-70million (US$90-US$105 million dollars) bracket, chief executive Ed Woodward said yesterday.
Moyes, 50, said the pressure of managing at Old Trafford did not compare with his decade in charge at English Premier League rival Everton.
"I have to put this in perspective and it is completely different," Moyes said yesterday in Australia. "The amount of support we've had, the amount of interest we've had from you people (media) ... constantly we are watched and scrutinized and it's something I'll need to come to terms with."
Moyes was speaking ahead of next weekend's sold-out pre-season tour match against the Australian A-League All Stars in Sydney.
"The previous manager, Sir Alex, told me what to expect. He told me especially what the tours were going to be like and I think if you have a football club like Manchester United, you have to make sure you go to your supporters worldwide," Moyes said.
