In Moyes' defense his teams did go up against some stout competition:
Thai All Star XI
A-League All Stars
Yokohama F. Marinos
Cerezo Osaka
Kitchee SC
AIK Fotboll
Sevilla.
Meanwhile LVG hasn't had to face anybody other than LA Galaxy, Real Madrid, AS Roma, Liverpool and Inter Milan

Barcelona midfielder Xavi says the only regret of his career is not having played alongside United legend Paul Scholes.
The 34-year-old this week called time on a glittering international career, which saw him win the World Cup and two European Championships.
But he has revealed that one of his ambitions will go unfulfilled, even though he is set to continue playing on for Barca.
The Terrassa-born playmaker says he always hoped to one day play in the same midfield as Scholes, even though he knew it was unlikely.
"When I think about all I have won with Spain and Barcelona and all they great players I have played with - it is impossible for me to have any regrets," he said.
"Maybe one small regret is that I never got to play with Paul Scholes - but I was never going to leave Barcelona and he was never going to leave Manchester United."

Many world class players share the same sentiment.

Xavi has spoken highly of Scholes in the past, saying: "[i]n the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen — the most complete — is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything. He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesn’t give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more."

they probably want to play with him so they wouldn't have to play against him and be subject to those tackles ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

Wouldn't be surprised to see him go out on loan before the window closes. Prob too good for the Reserves.

per the daily mail so this isn't 100% these are the guys being shown the door.
quote:
Marouane Fellaini
The Belgian was United's sole signing last summer, and his mediocre performances in the middle of the park became synonymous with David Moyes' dismal reign.
How much: United expect to take a hit on the £27.5million they paid and want £20million but will do well to get £15million.
Who's interested: Napoli but not at the asking price. A subsidised loan suits them but they are already weighing up alternatives.
quote:
Javier Hernandez
'Chicharito' has an impressive goals to games ratio in a United shirt, but his detractors suggest he needs more to his game. He's well behind the likes of Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie in the pecking order and will find more opportunities elsewhere.
How much: £12million would be the Mexican's price ideal but United expect closer to £10million.
Who's interested: Juventus and Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and Southampton are just some of the clubs to have expressed an interest.
quote:
Anderson
The Portuguese has failed to live up to his reputation, with a torrid spell at Old Trafford rife with injury. With no pre-season form behind him, by now he is well down the list of Louis van Gaal's midfielders.
How much: United are struggling to find takers even at a knockdown £5million.
Who's interested: Clubs in Portugal and Brazil have shown interest but little else. His displays on loan at Fiorentina did little to impress. Anderson may be difficult to shift.
quote:
Nani
The mercurial winger has had a career of ups and downs at Old Trafford, but it may finally be time to move on. His frustratingly inconsistent displays, along with a incompatibility with Van Gaal's wing-backs system means his United number is up.
How much: A new five year deal raised his value last season but price will be around £12million to £15million.
Who's interested: Juventus, Inter Milan, Valencia and Arsenal still rate the Portuguese winger despite his inconsistency.
quote:
Shinji Kagawa
Sir Alex Ferguson bought the hotly-tipped Japanese playmaker in from Borussia Dortmund to revolutionise the Red Devils' attacking threat. Although he has impressed in spells, injuries and the arrival of Juan Mata means Kagawa may have to look elsewhere for regular action.
How much: United will look to get around £8million to £10million for the Japanese playmaker.
Who's interested: Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp loves Kagawa. Atletico Madrid are interested too in a player who has looked resigned to leaving. Plenty interested in a loan.
quote:
Wilfried Zaha
The winger was tipped as an England World Cup star on his arrival from Crystal Palace, but has failed to live up to the hype. Farmed out on loan to Cardiff last season and another who doesn't benefit from a wing-backs formation, his move to United may have been one gamble too far.
How much: United would do well to raise £10million and may prefer to send him out on loan and see if his value rises again.
Who's interested: West Ham, QPR, Crystal Palace and Newcastle would all take a chance on a player who has yet to show his potential.

Also will be interesting how much of a run LvG gives the Keane twins, James Wilson and Lingard.
Very excited about the youth academy cranking out 4 very good english players.

Same publication that has us linked to a new player every other day that never materializes.
In other news, it looks like Michael Keane is close to a loan move to Cardiff City. I wish he would have gone to a lower level prem side if he were gonna go out on loan again. But there is that connection with Solskjaer at Cardiff.
