Manchester United – David Moyes is in Crisis Mode
Talking of transition and fan support is great, but there comes a point where you can’t lie and hide behind players anymore. Manchester United knew that the first season with David Moyes wasn’t going to be smooth sailing, but no one expected a catastrophic start to the season such as this, with Adnan Januzaj thrust into a bigger role than he’s actually ready for while Robin van Persie comes back from injury too soon for his own good and plays 90 minutes out of position.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Injury Conspiracy Theory
There’s no love lost between Dutch fitness coach Raymond Verheijen and Davide Moyes, with the former constantly attacking the Manchester United manager through twitter and other media services since the day he took the job.

Manchester United – David Moyes Finally in the Race
It wasn’t some tactical stroke of genius from David Moyes that gave Manchester United their most meaningful win of the season. It was a Robin van Persie goal, a Wayne Rooney cross and the most committed performance from his players this season, thrusting them back into the title race.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Can’t Be This Wasteful
When Ashley Young keeps lowering the bar for cheating and diving and Marouane Fellaini has yet another awful performance for Manchester United, Robin van Persie should be one of the players David Moyes trusts with his eyes closed. However, the Dutchman proved just as lacking as some of his teammates.

Ashley Young Dives, Chicharito Misses (Sociedad vs Manchester United)
Maybe this will be the match that sends Ashley Young into a long suspension or hibernation, as he added yet another embarrassing dive to his notorious collection, winning Manchester United a penalty kick that Robin van Persie missed in an awful 0-0 draw with Real Sociedad. The other meaningful event in the match? Chichartio, aka Javier Hernandez, missing from where it should be impossible to.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Daniel Sturridge Isn’t Someone He Knows
One of the more remarkable things about Zlatan Ibrahimovic is his willingness to answer a question about pretty much any subject, even if it doesn’t have anything to do with him and his team. When asked about the question of the best striking duo in the Premier League: Robin van Persie & Wayne Rooney from Manchester United or Luis Suarez & Daniel Sturridge from Liverpool, Ibra simply answered by showing he has no idea who Sturridge is.

Manchester United – Adnan Januzaj The Wind Behind Wayne Rooney & Robin van Persie
Things are starting to look better for Manchester United as they win consecutive league matches, with most of the newly found success having to do with Adnan Januzaj playing a lot better than any 18-year old should, being the driving force behind Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie who both got on the scoresheet in a match that was ever only 22 minutes after it began.

Manchester United – Chicharito and Shinji Kagawa Deserve Better
Maybe this is the match that will make David Moyes understand some thing about this Manchester United team it has taken him too long to. Shinji Kagawa isn’t a left winger, no matter how much his manager wants him to be. Javier Hernandez needs to be on the pitch in those final moments and probably more. His kind of scoring ability is something that just can’t be taught.

Manchester United – Adnan Januzaj Can’t be the Best Player
The David Moyes crisis becomes worse, as his Manchester Untied lacks confidence, courage and the ability to actually finish off matches that should be automatic three points for them, especially at home. While Adnan Januzaj continues being the right choice and the official fresh maker for the team, the awful signing of Marouane Fellaini is cancelling out any positives there are to be drawn from another disappointment.
