Kevin Sheedy, the Everton Under-18 coach, has claimed that David Moyes was "never interested in our youth team" during the United manager's 11 years in charge at Goodison Park. He also claimed the Scot played to draw matches when Everton manager. Sheedy tweeted: "All of you out there moyes was never interested in our youth team or players. In my 7 years moyes showed no intereset (sic) in our youth team." When @Nic_Turk tweeted in response: "'@kevin11sheedy: All of you out there moyes was never interested in our youth team or players.' Wow, big statement," Sheedy responded: "truth". Sheedy, who won two championships, the FA Cup and the Cup Winners' Cupleague titles while playing for with Everton in the 1980s, also suggested that Moyes's approach was not to lose rather than try to win. In response to GeorgeRobboEFC, the former winger tweeted: "George chill. We now have a Manager who wants to win games. COYB."

Sheedy also appeared to criticise Moyes's tactics during United's 3-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday at Old Trafford. "Punt the ball up to Fellaini. Great viewing," he tweeted.
