Manchester United boss David Moyes insists Paul Lambert is doing a good job at Aston Villa.
Moyes was speaking after their 3-0 win at Villa Park.
"He is doing a good job," said Moyes. "I don't think anyone can do a much better job than Paul at the moment.
"Aston Villa have had to alter the budget and change what they were doing.
"Paul was really great with the amount of young players they had in the team last season. He had to blood them and expect they would make mistakes. It would still be the case this season but they have gone out of their way to give them a chance."
