Andre Villas-Boas has stoked the fire ahead of the new Premier League, by saying that Manchester United will have to rebuild their “aura of invincibility” under David Moyes.
Moyes replaced Sir Alex Ferguson, who stepped down at the end of last season, following his 13th EPL title and has been given a tough start to his time at Old Trafford.
Villas-Boas, who saw his Tottenham Hotspur side go unbeaten against the champions last season, insists it won’t be the same.
“The aura that Sir Alex had, David Moyes does not yet have,” Villas-Boas said, according to The Times.
“This could have a direct influence on the players of Manchester and their opponents. United had, because of Sir Alex’s history of winning, an aura of invincibility.
“The fear made everything harder and may continue if [Moyes’s] adaptation is fast. The structure and squad are top, but there was one voice. I am curious to see [what will happen].”
