LVG United Jigsaw Starting to Click Into Place
It’s taken a while. It’s taken humiliating defeats at the hands of lower league opposition in the Carling Cup and an agonising home failure in the FA Cup against Arsenal. It’s taken months of under par, unexciting and uninspiring performances. It’s taken the switching of systems, swapping of starting elevens, and transferal of tactics. But …
Moyes is Not the Iceberg, But United are Sinking
