It’s been a desperately disappointing first season for David Moyes at Manchester United; there’s no doubt about that.
Everyone knew that the first post-Sir Alex season would be a tough one to endure but it has to be said that is has been poorer than even the most pessimistic football betting pundits could have predicted.
FA Cup and Capital One Cup exits to the hands of teams struggling to avoid relegation to the Championship have been bad enough, but the prospect of a lowest league finish since 1990-91 remains very real.
The 2014-15 campaign could be the first without European football for 25 years but the recent news that Wayne Rooney has penned a lucrative new contract and will not now be joining Chelsea in the summer is welcome, while potential new recruits look mouth-watering.
After last summer’s disastrous recruitment campaign, United appear to be getting their work in early and the news that Borussia Dortmund star,IlkayGundogan, and Bayern Munich midfielder, Toni Kroos, could be moving to Old Trafford in the next few months is extremely heart-warming.
Kroos was outstanding in Bayern’s recent Champions League win at Arsenal while Gundogan is a great prospect, although he has been plagued by back injuries this season.
Real Madrid and Arsenal are also believed to be interested in Gundogan although United are currently the favourites to land him with Shinji Kagawa possibly moving in the opposite direction and returning to his former club.
According to the latest live football commentary, Kroosis expected to stay at Bayernbut United have been told that talks over a new deal for the midfielder to remain at the Allianz Arena have stalled.
Hopefully, in years to come, the 2013-14 season will be seen to have been a blip as United put in place foundations for their return to the summit of domestic and European club football.
