Premier League - Manchester United Vs Southampton: Who is it going to be Moyes?

Always the talking point for all of Manchester United’s fans everywhere – who is going to be David Moyes starting XI? After 26 years of Sir Alex Ferguson, most United fans – despite Ferguson’s constant rotation – can almost knows the way Ferguson picked his team. But since Moyes took over – an unconvincing one so far – his team selection still leaves many United fans scratching their heads.Aside from the usual suspect – David De Gea, Patrice Evra, either Rio Ferdinand or Nemanja Vidic partnering the trio of Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Jonny Evans in central defense, Michael Carrick in central midfield and Wayne Rooney-Robin Van Persie up front – there are several positions in which David Moyes is not sure of. The rightback position should see Rafael da Silva competing with the likes of his twin brother Fabio and either of Smalling or Jones. But the decision after the strikers, Carrick and the back four will be the one that causes question marks over Moyes’ team selection so far this season. There will be the two flanks as well as a central midfielder position in which Moyes seems uncertain on who to pick. His choices would make most midtable or cash strap teams beaming with envy – imagine being able to choose from the likes of Nani, Shinji Kagawa, Ryan Giggs, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverly, Anderson, Marouane Fellaini, Ashley Young, Antonio Valencia, Wilfred Zaha and of course the highly rated Adnan Januzaj – all these for three positions!

 

The condition of players coming back from internationals will be a major consideration for David Moyes in selecting his team. And bearing in mind that after the recently concluded international breaks, the schedule will be full throttle – at least two games per week scenario. As such Moyes’ credibility will be in spotlight again as he goes about using his squad the best possible way.
