Obviously the Coentrao rumours are still knocking round, but it seems that there are three centre back targets: Mangala, Garay and Dede. Mangala has to be the first choice but reports are saying that we want to wait till summer till we get him - if that's the case then we need our heads looking at.

Nothing surprises me about the current management team.We already know that they will make poor decisions given half a chance.

Perhaps this is because teams don't want to sell their top players mid-season? What did you expect when a new management team took over? Transition after a 27 year regime will take longer than just 5/6 months! If you're a true fan you'll back Moyes no matter what and trust in United's decisions - Right now we can either water our crops over time to create a vast sustainable empire or we can dump nuclear waste on our land and grow tomacco.

"If your a true fan you'll back Moyes". Do you realise how stupid that is, what your only a real true fan if you support a man who has luckily got one of the biggest jobs in the world and is now destroying the clubs reputation? Get a grip mate!

My point is that by backing Moyes, you're trusting your faith in the club. He was hand picked by Fergie himself and do you not remember what Fergie said at his last appearance at Old Trafford? 'Its now your job to stand by your new manager'. Moyes is not trying to destroy the team, he's trying to rebuild it properly with a group of players that will have longevity. Would you rather us get rid of him now and start the spiral of a different manager every six months? United ethos is to rebuild and that's what we're doing now. The club needs support not criticism!

Well said unitedlover.
It is going to take time. We need to accept this year for what it is (a feet finding, regeneration year) and support the manager.

Mangala is also wanted by City and I'm not sure whether we should try and compete with them financially for a player only tried and tested in Portugal.

7.) 09 Jan 2014
@Unitedlover - what absolute rubbish. Why should we stand beside him "no matter what"? Just bcause Fergie said so?Fergie made plenty of bad decisions over the years in some of the players he brought in - why can't he get it wrong with the new manager? Why should he and not the board have hand picked the new manager? Do you even realise how close this club is frm going into very serious decline?

8.) 09 Jan 2014
I don't think there is any chance of us going into serious decline. However I do not accept that there should be blind allegiance to any individual at the club, manager, player or director. They all need to be judged on whether they are performing well or not. Moyes deserves at least two years, how long have we given Anderson, Nani, Young etc!

Serious decline? Please tell you’re not actually thinking that? That's very dramatic! Do you really think that Fergie alone appointed Moyes, without having the boards backing? Listen, I’m not saying Moyes has been perfect. He’s made some daft decisions and as he perhaps could have done himself a favour and kept the back-room staff to ease the transition, but he probably wanted to get his feet under the table as quick as possible and make United his own team. Yes Fergie casts a big shadow, as he had a regime for 27 years, whereby the players, staff and especially us fans followed and accepted that – Now he’s left that regime has been broken and in the modern game rebuilding something that solid takes time, but when it is rebuilt, the foundations will be even stronger! You actually think we’re close to serious decline, because we’re having a bad run of form and results… Come on mate, give Moyes time and support. Did you leave the Nou Camp after 90 minutes during the 1999 Champions League Final? Did you leave White Hart Lane at half-time when Spurs were 3-0 up back in 2001? Did you sell your season ticket when City beat us 6-1, because you thought we were finished? We’re United and we bounce back and always come back stronger! So get behind your manager because he won’t be going anywhere for a while.

Well said united lover. And can people please keep in mind when there having a go at moyes for everything that he is not the only one filling in some big shoes at the club. Ed woodward has the difficult task of stepping into david gills shoes aswell. And anybody who knows anything about football off the field knows what a superb job he did for utd and made fergies job that much easier. And take a look at the squad. it needs a lot of rebuilding. But then again i'm sure all these people slaging off moyes could a much better job regardless. I think not!
