John Aldridge: "Tough times ahead for Manchester United"

Liverpool legend John Aldridge expresses his delight at seeing Manchester United struggle under David Moyes.

Former Liverpool player John Aldridge is hopeful that Manchester United's struggles under David Moyes will continue.

United, who are currently sixth in the Premier League table, have failed to impress under Moyes following Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to retire last year.

"I won't lie, it's nice to be able to look down the league table at them for a change," Aldridge told the Liverpool Echo. "[Liverpool] spent long enough looking up at them, after all.

"But football is cyclical, and nothing lasts forever. Liverpool know that better than anyone. Ferguson had to leave United some time, and he has left a massive job to his successor. David Moyes is a good manager, that is proven, but he has struggled to get to grips with the size of the job he was left.

"I have no personal issue with him, but as a Liverpool supporter I hope those struggles continue. Make no mistake, there are tough times ahead for United. I wouldn't risk writing them off just yet, but there is a huge amount of work to be done at that club, and it will take them some time to get back to anywhere near where they have been for the last 20 years."

Aldridge appeared 83 times for Liverpool, scoring 50 goals.
