We've had many texts in from listeners, drawing parallels between Graeme Souness' Liverpool reign and the start of Moyes' time at United.
A former player at Anfield, Souness was enticed back as the "continuity candidate" when Kenny Dalglish left the job in 1991 and tried to make changes to a club where players were pushing the wrong side of 30 but ultimately failed, resigning in 1994.
Meawnhile, it looks like this summer may well see a clear-out occurring at Old Trafford. With Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra on the wrong side of 30 and a number of other players under-performing, David Moyes could use the transfer window to put his stamp on Manchester United.
But while similarities exist between the Liverpool team at the dawn of the 1990s and this current Man United team, The Times' Merseyside correspondent Tony Barrett believes that there are stark differences between the two eras.
"There are many differences. I think the most striking one of all is that Graham Souness was very impetuous in the transfer market and you can contrast that with David Moyes who is seen as being a lot more methodical and at times being too slow in the transfer market," said Barrett.
"Because it went so badly, it's often forgotten but Souness was universally welcomed and seen as the continuity candidate. He was the former player, former captain. But Souness was someone who had been away and got very different experiences and he wanted to implement them at Liverpool. He didn't want to wait around. It was revolution and not evolution and it was that pace of change that a club like Liverpool just wasn't prepared for."
But Barrett believes Manchester United are more prepared for dealing with failure than the Liverpool of that era according to Barrett.
"I see two very different managers and I also see two different clubs. Liverpool were struggling to cope with the pace of change and struggling to find it's place in the new way of running things. United are the club which has set the pace of change for 15 or 20 years so I do see the similarities. But I think United are just in a better position to absorb failure if David Moyes fails as a manager. Liverpool was in a turbulent, difficult place as a club and United are stronger and robust, particularly financially."
