Following Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat at home to West Brom, David Moyes has cast his doubts over Manchester United’s ability to win the Champions League, claiming the team is shy of world class players.
September has yet to end and United have already lost 3 games in the league, but following today’s defeat attention now turns to the continent.
United won their first game in Europe, comprehensively beating Bayer Leverkusen but face a tough trip east to face Shakhtar Donetsk and whilst may progress from their group Moyes feels history is against his side as they lack the strength previous winner have shown:
“To win the Champions League you have to have five or six world-class players.
“If you look at Bayern Munich, they have five or six really world-class players, and to win it you might have to have that in your squad.
“Look at Barcelona, who had it in the past, and Real Madrid have maybe got it now.
“That’s the level you have to get at to win it. We’ve not got that yet. What we have got is experience and several players who are in that category or close to it.”
Whilst this may be the case, I question Moyes’ timing in making this statement.
After a loss like the one suffered at Old Trafford today, I don’t think fans are expecting to hear the manager talking down his chances of winning another competition.
D Moyes, you should explain this situation before you sign for Manchester United in May 2013, Manchester United has all the world class player, but UNFORTUNATELY MANCHESTER UNITED DON’T HAVE A WORLD CLASS COACH/ MANAGER TO TAKE THEM TO WORLD CLASS STANDARD ..!!!!!! You don’t tell us to look at Pep Guardiola, How many CUPS HE HAS WIN AND HOW MANY CUPS YOU HAVE WIN ????????? MANCHESTER UNITED SHOULD GET RID OF YOU DAVID, You don’t have any ideas / tactics / strategies, Man U is not shy of World Class players, BUT THE WORLD CLASS PLAYERS DOESN’T WANTS TO PLAY UNDER YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agreed baadshaa,”man utd lack of world class player”…oh what a statement!. Why the fuck u bought fellani for? Is he a world class player? U know what, he is a world class clown just like u moyes. Why the hell u put jones played on the right back. Is he a genuine right back player? What happen wif rafael,valera,fabio? Why and why and why. Just like young after poor perfomance u still played him against city. Why again? Adnan, zaha give them a fucking chance. I guess now he regreted. Rio and giggsy i think its time for u to retired. Smalling,jones,young,evans after many yrs ur standard. May be u are trying to build a team just like barca whre u have a lot of spanish national playres playing for the club or maybe bayern. And sad to say these players are not even regular in the national team.
….as a red devil die hard fan i had enough to watch these players playing. When i see these names, i choose to watch other channel cause under moyes and with these bunch of players sorry to say we will never win any trophies again. As for the foreign players ando,valencia shld go too. Maybe moyes dont eat “sushi” but give more time to kagawa rather than fellani…£27m maybe the hair worth much more than his skill. U talk about world class..rooney, rvp, vidic, evra, de gea,even rio was a world class BUT TRULY NOT U moyes. U r world class disaster
That man Is very sick in his brains. It’s so obvious That He planned for the substituites before the Game. How the hell dis he subs Kagawa? Are: Van P, Rooney, Kagawa, Evra and Carrick,not world,class? A good manager should be able to concoct his team and win at least local games. David Moyes and Steve Round are simply incompétent and should be seen as misfits to steer us to the Next level. They should be sacked at once before they finally turn our enviable United to punch bags for relegated teams. This scottish pigeon should be sacked at once.????
Carrick World Class? He is a crap player to me. What’s the big hype on this guy. He takes 15 to 20 secs to make a pass and its normally back or sideways. We have struggling to sign decent players over the years.
Mr David Moyes…. for god sake have respect for the club and give your resignation letter. I know Sir Alex Fergusson asked us to “Support your new manager” but with this kind of statement you cannot have our support. We have world class players we lack only a world class coach/manager who can motivate us. We do not want to be the mid table champion like you did with Everton.. we are a world class team so please leave before the fans/club kick you out!!!!
1) Fergie won the league with same set pf players at a canter …
2) OK, so if Moyes is saying hes no Fergie, HE is responsible together with Woody for bringing in world class players last summer if thats what he needs
3) after his various disclaimers about needing time to win anything, which world class player wants to join Man Utd under Moyes???
The biggest mistake moyes has done is that he has bring his own coaching staff rather than sir alex ferguson coaching staff. Moyes staff hasn’t face and experiences this situation and sir alex staff has experience and know what to do which player we should bring to change the match. Are you agree with me all united fan.
I really agree with u mr mutd fan what Moyes a fuck is , thisis the first time for manutd 2 be second elven. Butter for Moyes to be sacked early with his staffs , we need Sir Alex Ferguson staffs back for manutd but led him don,t say that utd lack world class players wat about those Rooney, Kagawa,V persie Carick Cleverly Rafael and Evra wat fuck jones and Buttner is .jones is well in tackle for defensive midfied not right back postion . Wat ahell butter utd fans to fuck Moyes annus before he leave old traford , and thks all utd fans dis madeng in South Sudan currently gain it independence in de yr 2011 . I known hw to coach players if i should utd coach utd cann,t be reach bottom
The biggest mistake is getting DM as a manager and for the past few seasons we didn’t build a team to ensure the squad transits. All we have is mediocre aging players. Some of them don’t deserve to wear the jersey. The club has the biggest fan base and these players don’t have the loyalty towards the fans of this club. I was hoping they would come back from the shitty defeat but it’s still the same. We have been poor in the transfer market. I can’t understand if spurs can attract good players why we can’t. Blame the greedy glazers as well.
Man Utd plays one of the most boring soccer and we have been saying that we need a creative good midfield player and till now we have not secured anyone there.
I am prepared to go without a trophy but things got to improve. The way I look at this, I just hope we don’t get relegated.
Apart from Rooney I can’t think of anyone else to say anything positive about. Brace for dark times ahead. Well even the manager says it and he is just trying to cover his bloody ass.
In westbrom match moyes should have played vidic. Ferdinand is aging and he is not like he was before. Seriously the heart of man utd in these player rafael,vidic,evra,valencia,carrick,rooney these player should stick in their place but main is rafael,vidic,evra and WHY WHY WHY moyes you keep play kagawa as winger i comment in every site that kagawa should play central either central midfield or behind striker. Just see the match he seem that he is lost he try to come in central to catch your eye that he is best in central so why you play him as winger.

All united fan wat say we give david moyes chance to left united in top or second place till all match return doesn’t come if moyes couldn’t lift united up then we will protest to sack him and bring ole gunnar solskjaer to old trafford.
Pathetic United! Get rid of Rio, Young, Evans, Buttner, Giggs, Kagawa, Hernandez and sign Rwal Men like Garay, Mangala, Lewandowski. Look at Spurs. Man U sucks!
