Despite his appointment on a six-year contract, Moyes was given less than a year in charge of United after replacing Sir Alex Ferguson as manager in May 2013.
He was axed the following April as United headed for a seventh-place finish in the Premier League, their lowest since 1990.
Van Gaal guided United to fourth place in his first season as manager and Moyes believes United should keep faith with the Dutchman, who has come under growing pressure following an eight-match winless run which has seen them slip to sixth and an exit from the Champions League at the group stage.
"After Sir Alex the job was going to be very difficult," said Moyes, who was speaking on The Clare Balding Show on BT Sport. "It was going to take time to rebuild. It was a rebuilding job at Manchester United. You've got to remember David Gill [also] left. He was a big influence.
"What Manchester United stand for is they keep their managers, they've always supported their managers.
"I hope they stick with Louis Van Gaal, he deserves more time. It's still a work in progress for him."
Watch the full interview with David Moyes on The Clare Balding Show tomorrow from 8pm on BT Sport 1.
