The former Red Devils manager has disclosed the major stakeholders that decide on transfers at Manchester United.

Former Everton and Manchester United manager David Moyes has revealed the identity of the individuals tasked with the recruitment of players at Manchester United. The 55-year-old Scottish man was in charge of the Old Trafford outfit in 2013/2014 season having succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson.

Moyes' spell at Manchester United, however, ended after just 10 months following a disappointing stint which saw the club finish in the seventh position in the Premier League. In his tenure, the former manager reportedly fancied the prospect of recruiting high-profile players in the likes of Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos but he failed to do so.

Speaking recently on Sky Sports' Goal the Scottish manager declared that the players he identified as ones with the right profile to play for Manchester United were not supposed to be approved by any transfer panel as contrary to popular opinion.

And while Jose Mourinho was seemingly at not seeing eye to eye with Ed Woodward for his failure to bring on board the players on his wishlist, Moyes revealed that the principal figures in recruitment at Manchester United included the manager, Woodward and chief scout Jim Lawlor.

"No, I didn't need to go to a panel [to approve a signing]," Moyes stated on Sky Sports.

"It tended to be myself, the chief scout and I'd speak with Ed Woodward. "The scouts were especially the ones who were important, so that was how it worked."

On the subject of an apparent rift between Jose Mourinho and Ed Woodward, David Moyes squashed the speculation while insisting on the existence of a healthy relationship between the pair.

"I think Ed Woodward and Jose do have a good relationship," he added.

"But I think it's really important that you do have a good chief executive.

"I think all the managers need to work closely with their chief executive because you are signing more players than maybe was done in the past and you're having to be on it quickly.

"You're probably having to make signings now whereas I can think back to the years when I signed players after going to watch them half a dozen times.

"I'm not sure you can do it quite as much now. You have a lot of analysts whom you are using to do it.

"I think you need the trust and you need a good relationship with the chief executive to make sure you can carry things out quicker than maybe you would like or even the age of players nowadays where you can't always get them at 24-year-old, you might need to take one at 29 or 30."
