Manchester United have defended manager David Moyes after fans criticised the club's late and limited transfer activity during the summer window. Marouane Fellaini's arrival from Everton was their only summer signing.
.
"The club has demonstrated its commitment to David Moyes in the award of a six-year contract," said director of communications Phil Townsend.
.
"Allowing him to shape the future Manchester United team is a long-term project not an eight-week panic."
.
Fellaini's arrival came late on transfer deadline day, but the club failed with moves for Everton defender Leighton Baines, Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera and Real Madrid left-back Fabio Coentrao.
.
Moyes was also unsuccessful earlier in the summer with two bids for Barcelona players when former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas chose to stay at the Nou Camp and midfielder Thiago Alacantara opted to join German side Bayern Munich.
David Moyes has done pretty well for Manchester United so far this season cos so many fans are presently pleased with him!
