“We will see great winning sides here again” – Moyes pens open letter to United fans

Manchester United manager David Moyes, has written to disgruntled fans of the club, admitting that he is having a difficult first season in charge of the Premier League champions.

Moyes, who was hand-picked by fellow Scot Sir Alex Ferguson, is however adamant that the club has return to its glory days once again.

“While I knew that this job would be a challenge when I took it on, the difficult season we have experienced was not something that I envisaged, which I am sure is the case as well for you supporters,” wrote Moyes.

“My players, staff and I are desperate to compensate for that.

“You are accustomed to seeing a successful Manchester United and the backing you have given the players and me throughout the season has been incredible. Away from home the travelling fans have remained the best in the country while at Old Trafford your unwavering faith has been noticeable and hugely welcomed.

“Supporting your team when they are winning is easy but much harder when things are not going as well, and the loyalty you have shown us has been magnificent.

“Everything we have been through will make us a better, stronger team and club in the future.

“Over the years you have seen great winning sides here and, in time, I have absolutely no doubt that we will see great winning sides here again.”

United are currently seventh on the log with 45 points from 27 matches, 18 points behind leaders Chelsea and will be looking to overcome a two-goal deficit against Olympiakos in the Champions League round of 16
