The man who could have sat alongside Moyes was now sitting in the Visiting team box. Before he left his beloved Old Trafford, he asked Moyes “With all due respect, you’ve done a fantastic job in the Premier League with Everton but do you realise you’re going from a yacht to a cruise ship?”.

The cruise ship is definitely in rough waters. How long before Captain Moyes takes control? The cruise ship is now rolling in stormy waters with Moyes still to show he can navigate successfully. Moyes will be given time by United’s owners, and funds to strengthen the team in the summer, and rightly so because he remains the right choice, but he needs to organise the defence better, instilling more concentration, and he certainly needs to recruit well. A left-back, a centre-half and a dynamic central midfielder are top of the shopping list.
