Premier League – Manchester United Vs Newcastle United: What now?

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.

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.
