If you're looking for Manchester United in the Premier League table this morning, you might be alarmed by the fact you have to scroll all the way down to 8th. That's how things stand for the defending champions at present, following their worst ever start to a league campaign that has seen them win just three games all season. Calamitous defeats against Liverpool, Manchester City and West Brom have interspersed with these unconvincing victories - with the Red Devils perhaps fortunate to leave the Stadium of Light with the three points against Sunderland earlier this month - while yet more points were dropped over the weekend against Southampton. That leaves them eight points adrift of table-toppers Arsenal - For United, and their manager David Moyes, this simply isn't good enough. There was always bound to be a transitional period when Moyes succeeded from the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson earlier this year, but even the most pessimistic of United fans wouldn't have feared it'd be this bad. The Old Trafford club's wretched start to the season can be pinned down to a number of reasons - tactical ineptitude from the dugout through to poor performances from the players - but it is Moyes who has to shoulder most of the blame. Here, we take a look at 5 Huge Mistakes David Moyes Keeps Making.
