Manchester United – David Moyes Has Only Wayne Rooney to Count On
It wasn’t luck that got Manchester United their draw at White Hart Lane, but it had something to do with it. Wayne Rooney continues the cycle of interchanging seasons, with this one being one of the best of his career through the first three months, although it’s not enough to make David Moyes look like a genius, which he isn’t.

Manchester United – Shinji Kagawa Finally Plays Where He Should Be
To say that playing Shinji Kagawa in the position he’s supposed to was the reason Manchester United walked away from Leverkusen with such a dominating win wouldn’t do justice to the rest of the team, which included another fantastic performance from Wayne Rooney and a rare effective one from the aging Ryan Giggs, but there’s no doubt David Moyes finally saw what his Japanese playmaker can do when he’s used the correct way.

Soccer Needs Video Technology – Kevin Mirallas and Wayne Rooney as Proof
Referees are human beings, and even five of them on one football pitch can’t see anything. Of course, some of them are actually terrible at their job, but get to keep it through the wrongdoings of FA’s and FIFA. Kevin Mirallas nearly ripping Luis Suarez to pieces and Wayne Rooney kicking violently at Jordon Mutch serve as another example of how the sport needs intervention involving video, replays and cameras.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Needs a Better Manager Than David Moyes
There’s always a debate when it’s time to blame someone. Who is more responsible for a team looking bad – the manager or the players? David Moyes might be over criticized from the day he took the Manchester United job, but his inability to keep this team on its edge and hungry for more, while Wayne Rooney, along with Adnan Januzaj and David de Gea, seem to be the only players not suffering from too many highs & lows in his game.

Neil Swarbrick Helps Wayne Rooney Avoid a Red Card for Kicking Jordon Mutch
Justice prevailed as Cardiff, playing better than Manchester United, got a 91st minute goal and an equalizer in a 2-2 draw, despite the best efforts from referee Neil Swarbrick to make it an uneven contest in favor of the visitors, showcased at its fullest when he only booked Wayne Rooney for deliberately kicking Jordon Mutch early in the game.

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.

Robin van Persie for Manchester United; No One for Arsenal
Finally David Moyes has a win over a big team, not to mention his first ever against Arsene Wenger. It was all about Robin van Persie making the difference, rising high above the poor zone coverage from Arsenal, giving Manchester United a 1-0 win that completely opens the title race, bringing them back into it despite the slow start to the season.

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.
