David
Moyes and his team will be facing another high flying team – Newcastle United –
at home. As in the case of Southampton, West Bromwich Albion and lately
Everton, teams like these goes to Old Trafford with confidence knowing that
they could return with positive results – and the fear factor United used to possess
under Sir Alex Ferguson is long gone.
July 1, 2013, David Moyes officially takes over from the great Sir Alex Ferguson....

Premier League – Manchester United 0 Everton 1: Everton a better team now!!
David
Moyes could not get the better of the man who replaced him at Everton – in his
own backyard! That does not sound good – at all to any Manchester United’s
supporters. Managing Everton and United is totally different – it is akin to
driving a Japanese car compares to driving a German marquee brand. The quality
of the squad is also way different and yet Everton managed to create history at
Old Trafford on Wednesday night!

Premier League – Manchester United 1 Arsenal 0: This is the stuff of champions!
What
a result – despite the 1-0 scoreline. It is the manner in which Manchester United won that has changed a lot of perception about them – and their title
hopes. This is the Arsenal team sitting on top of the Premier League table –
eight points ahead of United, the defending champion.

Premier League – Manchester United Vs Arsenal: Here we come!
This
is it, the one true test for Manchester United. There is one slight discrepancy
though, United the home team will not be the league leader as has been the case
for the last six to eight years – it is Arsenal that is in pole position and
sitting 8 points clear of United. This does not really happened before – this
unfamiliar positioning of these two teams. But fact is Arsenal who is flying
high, still has the same manager in Arsene Wenger while United under David
Moyes is still searching for its footing after the end of Sir Alex Ferguson’s
successful era.

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.

Shakhtar Donetsk Vs Manchester United: Have Moyes Learnt?
This
will be the first away Champions league games for David Moyes – and he needs to
make sure he gets it right. After a difficult start to the season – 8 games, 4
wins, 3 losses and 1 draw – makes it looks right Moyes is really out of depth
in his job as the new manager of Manchester United, or is he?

Capital One Cup – Manchester United 1 0 Liverpool: This is more United-like!
Convincing?
Not entirely but one thing for sure, this is the way Manchester United should
be playing. Despite the scoreline it is United that is showing more hunger and
wanted the win more. The thumping by neighbor City did help but the hurt from
the derby loss continues.

Manchester United Vs Liverpool: No more Young, give us Kagawa!
As
well as Nani, the da Silva twins and Javier Hernandez! Given the results so far
David Moyes may just well go for the break – and change the team that he had
preferred for the last 6 games. After all it is in Manchester United’s
tradition to field either players who are not playing regularly or youngster at
a Capital One Cup (formerly League Cup)
fixture.

Manchester United Vs Chelsea: We are ready!
Two
days to go ahead of this mega match-up between defending champion Manchester United and title contender Chelsea, who coincidently sits on top of the Premier
League table – courtesy of that extra game (and win) against Aston Villa. One
thing for sure, we can expect Jose Mourinho to continue his ‘mind games’,
making statements - especially on the Wayne Rooney issue. He needs to, based on United’s win over Swansea and the fact
that it is at Old Trafford.
