2. Manchester United (5 Star)

Att: 85 / Mid: 79 / Def: 80 The departure of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson from Manchester United after a 17-year tenure was always going to have a drastic effect on the clubs standing in the Premier League. However, nobody anticipated quite how far United would fall in the 2013/14 season, frustrating fans and players alike. Prior to the start of the season it was thought that the appointment of a proven manger in David Moyes and the addition of some expensive signings like Mario Fellani (and Juan Mata in January) would at least partially fil in the void left by Sir Alex. United didnt look their former selves under David Moyes. Despite being triumphant in the Community Shield in his first game and guiding United to a 4-1 win at Swansea City in the opening Premier League fixture, United under Moyes quickly crumbled in the league and endured some of their worst form since the end of the 1980s. This tepid form continued till the end of the season when United finished seventh in the league, though Moyes had already been sacked for a couple of months by this point. There is no denying that United in FIFA 14 are horrifically overrated and need downgrading in FIFA 15. The fact that theyre rated as being better offensively than local rivals Manchester City despite their difficulty getting goals all season is laughable. If Louis van Gaal has any hope of bringing United back to where their legions of fans believe they should be, the Red Devils need to flash the cash this summer to supplement their lacklustre squad.
