It’s Moy way or the highway

DAVID MOYES has told Manchester United’s stars: You will have to work for me SEVEN days a week. The incoming Old Trafford boss has outlined his United blueprint for the first time since taking the job last month. Scot Moyes will insist on a ferocious work ethic as the champions defend their Premier League title next term. And he is adamant that young players will be given a fair crack of the whip and a chance to prove their worth. The ex-Everton boss said: “You have to earn your stars when dealing with players. It’s up to you to show what you’ve got. “If you want to work for me you need to be able to work seven days a week. I need to know my staff will give me that effort. “Discipline has to come from within for players. And I’m a great believer in giving young players opportunities. “Developing players mentally is very important, but it needs to fit with what the players want. “You have to keep your eye on what the industry is doing — what’s new. And your recruiting as a manager can determine whether you keep your job. “Everton needed a new direction when I came in and, as a coach, you have to find ways you can keep developing.” Moyes’ predecessor Alex Ferguson ruled the roost at Old Trafford and had total control over all first-team affairs. And the former Preston chief insists that is the ONLY way to work at a top-level football club. He added: “It’s a great honour to be appointed at Manchester United. “But don’t assume your board of directors always have the answers. You need to influence.”
