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.
July 1, 2013, David Moyes officially takes over from the great Sir Alex Ferguson....

Marouane Fellaini: Jury is still out on this dude!
So
much hype for this dude, maybe given that Marouane Fellaini is Manchester
United’s only signing in the recently concluded transfer windows, which also
turn out to be one of the most farcical transfer activities in United’s
history. So has Fellaini actually proves his worth?

Transfer News: Manchester United did bid for Gareth Bale!
Finally
the truth is out – Manchester United did bid for Gareth Bale, as revealed by
Fiorentino Perez. How much was the bid remained a secret to the football fans
and David Moyes was adamant to this. Over the summer the two marquee signings
United should be more likely to bid more, as indicated by www.manutd-newera.blogspot.com were Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth
Bale. How ironic is that both are playing in the same team now - at Real
Madrid!. How United supporters would wish for this, and what actually went
wrong – why do we failed?

Sunderland 1 Manchester United 2: This is a relief!
This
win is a welcome relief – for Manchester United, for the fans and especially
for David Moyes as he began his reign as United manager in a dreadful manner.
Was it a convincing performance – definitely no, as United needed 18 year old
debutant Adnan Januzaj to save them from another uninspiring performance.

Sunderland Vs Manchester United: What will it be now?
David
Moyes complained about Manchester United fixtures, about how tough the run of
games United is suppose to face. But his ‘complaints’ stopped at Manchester
City games. West Bromwich Albion was supposed to be the ‘easier’ start of the
run, follow by Sunderland before the international break and look at what
happened!
Champions League – Shakhtar Donetsk 1 Manchester United 1: It’s all about Giggs
There
will be no argument – on the importance of the point gathered last night at the
Donbass Arena. It is an away Champions League game and it is against one of the
most formidable opponent in Manchester United’s group. By doing so, David Moyes
also avoid his ‘first’ European loss as United manager.

Transfer News: David Moyes will buy again!
Depending
on the source of news it was reported that the Glaziers will sanction big money
for manager David Moyes to dip into the winter transfer window – and shop.
Various names had been linked, notably Ander Hererra of Athletic Bilbao,
Leighton Baines of Everton and Fabio Coentrao of Real Madrid. Of the three
probably Coentrao will be European cup-tied leaving Baines and Herrera as the
more obvious choices – do we need them?

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?

Manchester United 1 West Bromwich Albion 2: Oh No Moyes, Not Again!!
David
Moyes did achieve a ‘first’ – his first lost at Old Trafford and it was not
pretty – the manner of the loss. Put it in simple stats – 6 Premier league
games, 3 losses, one draw, and two wins (only one was convincing – against Swansea),
making Manchester United lying a lowly 12th in the league table. The
other two wins came at cup ties – both at Old Trafford. While general consensus
is that Moyes has a gigantic shoe to fill and will be rightly given time to
lead United in the new era, the manner of his team selection, his tactical ability
as well as his role as the motivator for the team has come into question.

Manchester United Vs West Bromwich Albion: The win must continue…
After
the Manchester derby thrashing and the much needed win over Liverpool in the
Capital One Cup, the headlines had been David Moyes – about how his performance
as the manager of Manchester United has been so far. Critics are everywhere but
there are sections of fans as well as former United players coming out in
defense of Moyes.

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 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 City 4-1 Manchester United: What a farce!
Nothing
goes right for David Moyes and his men on the night. Moyes send out the wrong
team on the night where he (and City’s Manuel Pellegrini) needs to prove
himself. To add to that Moyes also sends out the wrong message, is he back to
his Everton’s days mentality once a game of this magnitude comes around?
