Is Moyes to blame for Man United’s woes? | Tunde Folawiyo
After the Red Devil's second consecutive loss, demands have been made to replace David Moyes. Critics contend that, after fifteen games in the Premier League, defenders of Moyes can no longer argue that the manager is still in a transitional phase. However, Moyes himself has denied that his career with Man United is nearing its end, and seems unfazed by the scrutiny. Whilst loyal fans like Tunde Folawiyo continue to support the team, a number of players (both former and current) have openly questioned the decisions made by Moyes; Gary Neville has publically stated that since the manager came on board, some of the team members appear to be taking up deeper defensive positions, which is...

Manchester United, a team which Tunde Folawiyo has supported for decades, has finally begun to recover, after a somewhat disappointing start to the season.

He appeared to have redeemed himself eight...
