David Moyes, coach of Manchester United is not in a hurry to buy new players even as he had said that the title race is not yet over.
Last night defeat was the fourth in United’s last five matches and things are progressively getting worse for the club and the coach. The Red Devils are now seventh on the league table with Newcastle United following closely behind. Should Everton win West Brom Albion this night, they would just be seven points shy of a top four spot.
Aside not getting the 3 points in matches, United also have injury worries. With Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie out due to injuries, the squad has really been stretched thin. United’s defence has been porous and their midfield has been overpowered on several occasions this season. Despite all of these, David Moyes has insisted he won’t be in a rush to buy players in the January transfer window.
When asked if the poor string of result would make him change their transfer market policy, the coach replied;
“Not because of results.
“The club know exactly what we want to do and the direction we want to go and the type of players we want to bring to the club and a lot aren’t available in this window. If we could get any of them we would do, we are trying but more than likely most people know it is difficult.
“I think the club have always said it is long-term, we know there is a job to be done and we have an idea of players we would like to bring in and we would like them now, but more than likely won’t be.
“It is a long way away [for the title race], we will never say it is gone and we will do our best to get back in and the only thing we can do is try and win our next game and we will try and do that”
Why David Moyes would choose not to buy good quality players when he can in the face of the poor run of result is way beyond me. However, if the reports linking us to Chelsea’s Juan Mata are true, then it could mean Moyes is perfectly keeping his cards close to his chest.
