David Moyes believes that Manchester United should hold off sacking Louis van Gaal for fear of being known as a sacking club.
The Scot, who is a free agent following his sacking from the manager's post at La Liga outfit Real Sociedad, lasted just ten months at Manchester United before being shown the door in 2014.
Van Gaal succeeded the former Everton manager in the hot seat at Old Trafford, but now he too is in trouble, with sections of the club's fans calling for his head.
For Moyes, sacking the former Netherlands boss would not be a smart move and he insists that the Red Devils have always stuck by their managers.
"I don't think Manchester United should become a sacking club", Moyes said on BBC Radio 5 live, while covering the Bournemouth-Everton game.

"I was disappointed when I lost my job after 10 months, but we would think Manchester United have always stood for much greater things than sacking their managers regularly.
"So, I don't think they should [sack Van Gaal]", he added.
Van Gaal led Manchester United back into the Champions League after a season's absence, but the Red Devils exited the competition at the group stage and slipped into the Europa League.
And recently they suffered an embarrassment with a 2-1 defeat at Danish minnows FC Midtjylland in the Europa League, meaning they have work to do to reach the last 16.
