Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has claimed that David Moyes was not given enough time as Manchester United boss.
The Scot was sacked in April, less than a year into his six-year contract, after overseeing a disastrous run at Old Trafford, but the Northern Irishman doesn't think that the ex-Everton coach was afforded enough of a chance to turn it around.
He told reporters: "I think there were a lot of things at Manchester United that were not seen by many. He had to go in and where I felt for him is that he thought he was getting time.
"All of a sudden when it's not as hunky-dory as people think it is, you don't get that opportunity. He signed a long-term deal and thought he had that longevity to do his work."
Liverpool signed their seventh player of the summer on Wednesday when Javier Manquillo arrived on a two-year loan deal from Atletico Madrid.
