If I were David Moyes, I would get a little restless. The figure of Sir Alex is looming on him everywhere. At home matches, you go through Sir Alex lane, Sir Alex photos, questions on his legacy, how he would have lined up for that match....and when you are away, you see him in person attending the matches!
Last night at Leverkusen saw Sir Alex hovering in the stands and David Moyes itching to start the game. He would have wanted a strong performance to seal United's progress to KOs before the last round. Can't really say if it was Sir Alex presence or the disappointment of a last-minute goal at Cardiff - United looked sharp.
I was never a fan of Rooney. Don't get me wrong - am not a fan of him because of his attitude. I always wonder if he's ready to jump ship at the first sign of interest. But, this season has been different. I like his hunger on the pitch. He wants to show everyone that he's still the leading marksman for United. Is it to tip the scales in his favour during next summer transfer window? May be, but for the moment am enjoying his surge of form.
Moyes' United still looks patchy and hesitant in the middle of the pitch. Carrick's absence isn't helping things either. But, the early signs of improvement are already there. It has to be noted that United are currently on a non-loss streak of 10 matches. Agreed that we have drawn a lot of matches that we should have won, but at least we have not lost.
It's time to build on this performance and bring the traditional Christmas surge to the top. I'm still counting on a top-4 finish (and no title) this season which would still be a huge achievement for David Moyes. Probably then, Sir Alex can stay at home. His presence is nerve-wracking, still...for players, managers, opponents and viewers alike!
