Kevin Campbell revealed it was not easy working with David Moyes at Everton during a Man On The Street segment for Astro Supersport.

The former Toffees captain, who was in Malaysia as a guest pundit for Astro's Premier League coverage, played under Moyes for three years before leaving for West Bromwich Albion in January 2005.

When asked by co-host Roshan Narayan if the Scottish manager was easy to be approached and receptive to suggestions, Campbell gave a straight 'no'.

"I was the captain, but it was a constant battle with David Moyes," he revealed.

"For sure, we respect our managers, but the best managers listen.

"The players are actually the ones doing it [on the pitch], so you need to take into consideration or have a group [of players] whom you can take advice from.

"It's funny if a manager asks a player what he thinks, but the manager totally did the opposite, so what's the point of manager asking the player for?

"That's why I knew [it wouldn't work out] when he was going to be the manager of Manchester United."

Moyes took over the Red Devils' hotseat after Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement as manager in 2013, but he was sacked in his first season after several underwhelming and lacklustre results.

Campbell also shared his thoughts on why Moyes failed to impress at Old Trafford.

"This is not me having a go at David Moyes, it is just his style.

"I totally understand he got successful doing things his way, but when you get up to the level where the players have been successful without you, then you have to tailor what you do a little bit to try to work it out.

"He didn't keep anyone from the old regime. For instance, Rene Meleusteen was the head coach under Ferguson, but he went, Mike Phelan went and a lot of the backroom staff went and David Moyes brought in his own guys.

"They were good guys in their own rights, but none of these backroom staff had ever been at that level.

"If it were me going to United, I would've kept as many old guards as possible. The staff that I wanted to bring in could come in and mirror, watch and learn [from the old guards] so that it wouldn't be a harsh transition because whatever they were doing, they were winning titles," said Campbell.
