Former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has paid tribute to West Ham manager David Moyes.

Van Persie is delighted for his former United manager after reaching the Europa Conference League final.

He said, "I'm really pleased for David Moyes. I worked under him for a year, he's a fantastic person and a fantastic coach as well.

"It was difficult for him at Manchester United but I'm really pleased for him because he loves the game. He's a really good coach.

"From his point of view, West Ham didn't play a great match tonight (against AZ Alkmaar) but defensively they all defended 4-4-2 zonal, they all did their job really well. This is how Moyes planned the game, I'm sure. I'm just really happy for him. He deserves it."
