Moyes wasn’t an experienced victor and was coaching a dressing room full of them; he had the unenviable task of trying convince these decorated stars that his way would yield more favourable results, an outlook even more ill-fated in the wake of recent comments made by Sir Alex Ferguson in his book “Leading’ about the value of routine for those players”.

“It’s not for me to miss him but the Premier League will miss him”.
United have drawn four of their last six home games 0-0 and among the critics of a playing style widely regarded as boring are some of the club’s fans, who have been voicing their frustration at matches with boos and shouts of “attack, attack, attack”. That is what used to happen at Old Trafford on a regular basis.
Norwich will kick off in the bottom three after Newcastle United’s 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend bumped them into the relegation places.
The home side pulled one back within five minutes of the change, as Rooney got a flick to Young’s right-wing delivery and Martial sidestepped the challenges of Robbie Brady and Ryan Bennett to lash a shot high into the net.
Irate fans are progressively making their displeasure known to Louis van Gaal over the team’s performances- stating the lack of attacking intent as the “non – Man United” way of approaching fixtures. If it were, the fans would be wholly united behind their current manager.
“Manchester United, he would love it. Imagine Jose Mourinho walking out in front of the Stretford End and giving them the pump fists”. It’s important to stick together and try to bounce back. “The silence in the dressing room is big”, the Dutchman said in his post-match press conference. He shall train today [Friday], so we shall have to wait and see if he is available.
Many United fans have called for Van Gaal to be sacked after the club failed to make it out of the Champions League group stages due to a 3-2 loss at Wolfsburg, before being beaten 2-1 at newly-promoted Bournemouth last week. With Manchester needing a win badly, they need Mata to step up and take charge – and if he does, they’ll nearly certainly get that win considering Norwich’s problems stopping players like him. That’s the only thing that counts now, I think everyone in the dressing room and all of the staff know that.
“We have to win, because, if you lose, also for me, it’s the end of the world”.
