Manchester United – Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie & Juan Mata Deserve a Better Manager
Who knows how many crosses Manchester United would have ended up with if the referee wouldn’t have blown his whistle? Setting new records aside, another disappointing result shows once more that David Moyes just isn’t the manager to get something special out of Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata.

Manchester United – David Moyes Needs His Stars to Save Him
There’s a huge gulf between many Manchester United supporters about the amount of time David Moyes should be given to try and redeem what is so far a very poor first season at the job. No matter how you try to spin the facts and the situation, it’s probably going to be up to his top players – Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and newly arrived Juan Mata to save him.

Manchester United – Juan Mata Made an Immediate Impact
A step in the right direction, but far from vindication. Bringing in Juan Mata to spark this ailing Manchester United team into life seems to be a needed investment, but it still remains to be seen if David Moyes can find the right tactics to make his new signing, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney work together in the same lineup.

Chelsea FC Transfer Rumors – Going After Wayne Rooney or Mario Balotelli
No one loves going shopping in January, but Chelsea do have quite a critical situation with their strikers, who have scored a total of 7 league goals so far this season. The answer? Wayne Rooney of Manchester Untied and Mario Balotelli of AC Milan.

Manchester United – David Moyes Can’t Handle the Truth
What’s different between this Manchester United, the one David Moyes is managing, than the one from last season? The players are the same, give or take a few injuries. And yet the under pressure manager is trying to make it seem like he’s doing an excellent job, taking his frustration out at the referees instead of himself and his own players, while making it seem like the quality he has to work with just simply isn’t as good as it actually is.

The Day After – Manchester United vs West Ham
A win? At Old Trafford? Something must be wrong, or probably finally going right for David Moyes and Manchester United. More consistency in the lineup, making the right choices, while the Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck partnership is working out quite well up front, and Adnan Januzaj continues to show his fantastic development into what might be someday a world class left winger.

Chelsea FC Transfer Rumors – Will Try to Sign Wayne Rooney Again
The fact that Chelsea failed to convince Manchester United into selling Wayne Rooney to them over the summer doesn’t mean the “dream” is over, and it’s more than likely that they’ll make another move for the England international at the end of this season.

Manchester United Finally Finding The Right Lineup?
A 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk isn’t what will take the pressure off of David Moyes or suddenly turn Manchester United into a machine that will run off on the Premier League, but a lineup and formation used by David Moyes late in the match, which had Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Shinji Kagawa and Adnan Januzaj all playing together might be a partial answer to the team’s problems in the league.

Manchester United – David Moyes Has to Stop Blaming Luck
No one expected for David Moyes to have an easy first season at the helm as Manchester United manager. However, no one expected it to be this bad. What’s more frustrating for those who have the club’s best interest in mind is that there’s no sign of improvement, consistency or some sort of instilling football philosophy. David Moyes is diverting attention from himself to the players, mentioning luck and other things as the culprits in the bad results, but it’s hard to deny he has a huge part in everything that’s going on.

Manchester United – Great Wayne Rooney Seasons Usually End With Nothing
An interesting thing about Wayne Rooney over the last few seasons – it seems he dances between greatness one year and getting on everyone’s nerves the following season. Manchester United usually win their championships when Rooney isn’t at his best, although it shouldn’t have anything to do with it.
