Manchester United again slumped to their third consecutive defeat in the first leg of the League Cup semi final match against lowly placed Sunderland – another negative record for Moyes. Sunderland last beat United about 13 years ago.
Undoubtedly this has put the coach under intense pressure. United’s fans are increasingly becoming restless as the performance of their team appears to be getting worse by the day. With a lot of their key players down due to injury and their poor showing so far, a lot of people are beginning to query Moyes’ suitability for the job.
With Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton both watching from the stands as United lost to Sunderland, people are beginning to ask if Ferguson’s presence is not more of a hindrance than a help to Moyes.
The Scot was however quick to rubbish such assertions saying their presence was actually helpful. He said
“Not at all.
“Alex is a great sounding-board for me. He is there to help, so is Sir Bobby. He is terrific. Bryan Robson is at the training ground regularly, I speak to him regularly.
“I find the three of them terrific.”
The coach is happy with the way the players have responded to him as well as the support he has received from the club. He is confident they would be able to go through in the second leg of the competition.
“I have always been happy with how they players have been responding. I thought they were good tonight, apart from the opening 15 minutes.
“It’s always going to be a tough game. It’s only the first part of the game, so we have got a bit more to do in the second leg.
I for one I personally feel the task of managing Manchester United is way bigger than what David Moyes can handle. Although Sir Alex had little experience at the topmost level before he joined Manchester United but he was still a of not one but many laurels unfortunately Moyes in his 18 years career, has never won a title and that fact is beginning to show in his management of the Manchester United team.
Personally, I believe he is not a manager at the level of a club like Manchester United. He could do well with a mid-table team but definitely not with a club that should be fighting for the title.
