Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted Manchester United did not make a mistake in appointing David Moyes as his successor as manager.
Moyes left Everton to take charge at Old Trafford following Ferguson's retirement in 2013 but lasted just 10 months before being sacked.
Ferguson, who recommended Moyes, recently suggested the former Everton boss had not been first choice but defended the process by which he was appointed.
Now he has gone further by saying Moyes was definitely the right choice at the time the decision was made.
Ferguson told the BBC: "I don't think we made a mistake at all. I think we chose a good football man - (he) did a great job at Everton, had 11 years there. We picked the right man. Unfortunately it didn't work for David."
