To many the announcement of David Moyes as the new Manchester United gaffer comes as a surprise, but one Sir Alex Ferguson had had in mind since the era of the Ex-Toffes manager at Preston North-End in the early 2000s. Today the Scot finally had his wish granted by the United Glazer's family ahead of the fancied Jose Mourinho, who many feels has got the credentials to lead the Red-devils after earlier stint with Premier league rivals Chelsea where he made his mark before sojourning around hosts of other clubs across Europe.
His reign as United Manager started inauspiciously, with a 1-0 defeat to a mighty Singh All star team in Bangkok,one that had some exciting young lads on parade with the big guns in absentia owing to backlogs of injuries to top performers;but his team soon found their feet again- this time against A league All stars.
They thumped the Australian Side 3-1 in Sydney before heading off to Japan to play the Yokohama F-Marinos .
They lost 3-2 before drawing their foutrh of the tour against Crezo Osaka two all to share the Yanmar premium cup.
A first loss had brought into fore of Sir Alex losing his first game in charge as Manager of the Old-trafford Club back in 1986, when his then United side fell to a 2-0 defeat against Oxford United.
A defeat seen by many as one not to be overblown as Sir AlexFeruson's first in charge should perhaps come as solace for the Scot- a symmetry perhaps as it was described.
After four games and one more left against Kitchee in their tour of Asia, it looks that the reality of the enormityof a club like Manchester United, soon be sinking after seeing the scale of the fan-base worldwide.
The fact that a consistency norm in the use of these younger players has now reposed new belief in the tactics of Moyes and United's faithful. Furthermore the new generation of stars can once again be the cynosure in his reign and one to lean with, thus the pardon for not receiving sticks from fans but support that was again the thrust of Fergie's words in departute - only time will tell.
The one many problem on hand to deal with is the future of striker Wayne Rooney after several speculations linking him away from the club but nerves have so far been calm over the English man, so also is no denying the fact that the club purported move for Ex- Arsenal man Cesc Fabregas recently,from Barcelona could be the missing peg.
A thing of worry no doubt is questions about the performance of the team whether its worth the patient or not ? But a sure bet is that the activities in the closed season for the Old Trafford landlord could further enhance and bring about the drastic change to move the club even more to greater heights.Why not! as the acronym of the new Manager suggest- Make Other Years Exceedingly Successful
