Mark Bosnich says the Manchester United board blundered by putting their trust in Sir Alex Ferguson when appointing his successor.
Moyes was chosen by Ferguson as the man to replace him last summer when he retired after 26 years in charge at Old Trafford.
The 50-year-old duly endured a disastrous spell, which was brought to an end after just ten months on Tuesday morning.
And Bosnich claims United should have tempted a top manager like Jose Mourinho, who was available before sealing his return to Chelsea, rather than go for Fergie's fellow Scot.
"It is a great lesson to be learnt not to let your outgoing manager choose your next manager," blasted Bosnich, speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast,
“For all Sir Alex Ferguson did, the choice of David Moyes was not the right one. It was poor. He should never have been allowed to do that.
“People have said none of the top managers would have taken the job but I disagree. I’m quite certain that a Jose Mourinho would have taken the job.
“Sir Alex Ferguson appointed David Moyes knowing it would take a lot of time for him to get up to speed and that people would still be thinking about him rather than concentrating on what they needed to, which was to have a smooth transition."
