Ferguson: Moyes should've kept Phelan at Man Utd

Sir Alex Ferguson says David Moyes should've kept hold of Mike Phelan at Manchester United.

Ferguson suggested his fellow Scot made a grave error not retaining former assistant manager Mike Phelan in his backroom staff.

"I think he should have kept Mike Phelan, he was a United man; loyal, hard-working and a good judge of the players.

"My advice to David was that he should maybe keep Mike Phelan.

"I was always supportive of David, whenever he called I gave him the advice I would have wanted when I was manager.

"But David will do well in the future: life doesn't end when you leave United."
