    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. One issue he usually refers to is the mistreatment of Robin van Persie, claiming he has been given pain killers and is purposely overtrained, causing early injuries and coming at the cost of the national team.

  • Manchester United – David Moyes Finally in the Race

    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

    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.

  • Manchester United – Robin van Persie Can’t Be This Wasteful

    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)

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.
