DAVID MOYES IS NOT TO BE BLAMED FOR THE MESS AT MANCHESTER UNITED.

Lets make it very clear that david Moyes is not at all to blame entirely for the mess at the club. The club released both David Gill and Alex Ferguson in the same year, and they got in Ed Woodhouse in, a man who does not have the experience in buying good players. What Manchester United should have done was to keep David Gill for a year or two, so Ed Woodhouse could very well learn from him, but sadly that did not happen. And it is real fact at the club that players are getting old , like Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Nemanja Vidic are all in the their thirties , Ryan Giggs is forty years old. They got David Moyes to replace Alex Ferguson, as they very well knew Jose Mourinho would spend huge sums of money, and leave the club after three years which is his usual trend. But Manchester United failed to buy any big stars for their new manager Marouane Fellaini was the only big buy. While Bayern Munich got Mario Gotze and Alcantara for Pep Guardiola .

MANCHESTER CITY WANT TO BUY MANUEL NEUER FROM BAYERN MUNICH.

This year the Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has become a sudden flop, even though he was doing very well for the club in the past few years. Now the Chilean manager Manuel Pellegrini , has now had enough and is looking elsewhere for a good goalkeeper. He is now wanting the German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer who plays his club football with Bayern Munich. The price is bound to be high , it is now reported to be 40 million pounds . This will make Manuel Neuer the highest paid player ever . The previous costliest goalkeeper was Gianluigi Buffon , when Juventus paid 33.5 million pounds to Parma to buy him. Manuel Neuer could also be the highest paid goalkeeper as well, with a weekly salary of 105 ,000 pounds. Manuel Neuer is looking it up closely as well as his Bayern Munich career as he is now 28 years old.

WHILE ARSENALS MIDFIELD IS STRONG IT IS NOT SO WITH MANCHESTER UNITED.

While the Arsenal midfield is indeed very strong with footballers like Mesut Ozil, Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky and Alexander Chamberlain. But at the same time the same can not be said of Manchester United midfield. Ryan Giggs is forty years now and Ashley Young has done nothing but dive. And players like Luis Nani and Antonio Valencia have not done so well either, neither has Cleverly. So Manchester United need to sell some of these players, if they want to qualify for the Champion League or even Europea League.Things are really looking dark and gloomy at Manchester United.
