London: Manchester United great Ryan Giggs has described former manager David Moyes' decision to buy Marouane Fellaini from Everton in September 2013 as a "panic" buy.

Fellaini joined United from Everton, Moyes' former club, in a 27.5 million pounds ($33.6 million, 30.9 million euros) move on transfer deadline day.
But the gangly Belgium midfielder became a symbol of United's struggles under Moyes, who was sacked in April 2014 after just 10 months in the job.
"I don't blame David," Giggs wrote in Saturday's Daily Telegraph.
"United had signed players late in the window before. This time was different. It was more of a panic."
