10 Stages Of Realisation That David Moyes Is Not The Right Man For Man Utd

4. Two League Losses In A Row

United's season finally came off the rails in December. Signs of resurrection following the 1-0 win over top-of-the-table Arsenal and 5-0 thrashing of German giants Bayer 04 Leverkusen proved to be false dawns for David Moyes's reign. In early December, United went three games without a win and lost twice in a row to Everton and Newcastle following a 2-2 draw with Spurs. The defeat to Everton, at Old Trafford, was the first time the Red Devils had been beaten by the Toffees on home soil in 21 years, while the nightmare loss to Newcastle at the Theatre of Dreams was the Red's first reverse against the Magpies in front of their own fans since 1972. United rallied and went on to win their next six games in all competitions for December but it is unfavourable statistics like the one's mentioned that define Moyes's early tenure at the club.
