“There is no question over any of the players,” Vidic told the BBC. “They did everything that was asked of them.

“Sometimes you do things well, sometimes you don’t. But the desire was there. They tried really hard.

“From the first day until the last you didn’t hear any player say anything bad about the training. That shows the players have respect for the manager.”

Moyes was sacked in April, only 10 months into a six-year contract, after United failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 1995/96.

Vidic, who is set to join Inter Milan after playing the last of his 300 games for United against Southampton on Sunday, said there were no dressing-room fallouts with Moyes and the only arguments were between players desperate to improve.
