Premier League: Crystal Palace Vs Manchester United – This is it?

This is it for David Moyes’ team? How much does Manchester United wants that 4^th spot for Champions League football next season? After the euphoria of signing Juan Mata (honestly he did not deliver the extra invigorating factor as Mesut Ozil), the warm weather training in Dubai and so much talk about possible next season signings, the final 12 games for this season will determined Moyes’ team fate for next season.

Premier League – Fulham Vs Manchester United: Let’s keep the momentum

The 4-0 win over Norwich City at the Capital One Cup will soon become a distant memory. After all it is at a minor domestic cup and the opponent was basically a ‘no-show’. It is still an important win especially given David Moyes’ difficult start as Sir Alex Ferguson’s replacement. The talk will be back on one issue – team selection!

Capital One Cup – Manchester United 4 Norwich City 0: Hernandez and Fabio

The night belongs to these two players – Javier Hernandez and Fabio da Silva. Two players that find it hard to get game times under new manager David Moyes. For once the score line reflects the class between the two sides but of course both sides did field squad players and youngsters. Still, this win completes the last of the four series of home games for Manchester United at Old Trafford this month and it can be deemed – satisfactory (3 wins and a draw).

Capital One Cup – Manchester United Vs Norwich City: Let’s see the others!

On the back of that much talk about performance from Manchester United against Stoke City, the attention shift to the next fixture – Capital One home fixture against Norwich City. For once too since Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign, this might not be that one fixture where United fans will get to see more younger players – with the exception of Adnan Januzaj, or maybe Wilfred Zaha.

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 Liverpool: The Return of the ‘Biter’

Any Manchester United Vs Liverpool game is exciting given the histories between the two most successful clubs in English football, and this one is no exception despite being a Capital One Cup fixture (formerly League Cup). Both managers will be targeting the Capital One Cup as a source of silverware as well as opportunities to give squad players and youngsters a chance to play first team football. However this fixture will have an added spice – the return of the ‘biter’ a.k.a. Luiz Suarez.

Manchester United 2 Crystal Palace 0: Young gets the attention..again!!

The scoreline reads: Manchester United 2 Crystal Palace 0. Behind this scoreline is another fact – Crystal Palace had a player sent off at the 45 minutes mark, that lead to United’s taking a 1-0 lead through Robin Van Persie’s penalty. To simplify, United played against 10 men Crystal Palace for another 45 minutes and the scoreline in the end was 2-0. Convincing? How about the Ashley Young issue?

Manchester United Vs Bayer Leverkusen: Moyes must be ready

This is another series of first: David Moyes first group stage Champions League game, first Champions League game for Manchester United, first Champions League game for Manchester United at Old Trafford. Moyes is so new to this job there are so many ‘first’, but does it matter and how will he fare?

Manchester United Vs Crystal Palace: Moyes must do better!

This should be another first – David Moyes first competitive win at Old Trafford. It is also the second competitive game at home for Moyes. The one against Jose Mourinho’s side is one to forget – never mind Wayne Rooney’s performance, he is not available for this game anyway.

Liverpool 1 Manchester United 0: Ouch.. that hurts!!!

Never mind if they said Liverpool took their chances well, got the lucky break and hang on their life for it. Or, David Moyes saying Manchester United actually played well (in his words – “the best so far this season). Any defeat hurts – what more against Liverpool!

Liverpool Vs Manchester United: Bring it on!!!

Opening game (Swansea 1 ManUtd 4), Chelsea at Old Trafford (0-0) – done, and dusted. Now it is United old (less bitter) rival – Liverpool, next at Anfield. What would United’s fans expect then?

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.
