Man Utd: 10 Incredible Stats You Won’t Believe From The Moyes Era

10. Moyes Had A Better Start To His United Reign Than Ferguson

When comparing Sir Alex Ferguson to David Moyes in terms of managerial prowess, it isn't even a contest. The legendary Ferguson is peerless, widely considered the greatest manager of all time. Which is why it's interesting to note that, based off Ferguson and Moyes's first five games in charge of United, Moyes actually comes out on top. Stats proved that Moyes was doing a better job for United than Ferguson did after the opening five rounds of fixtures, collecting two more points than his predecessor achieved when he succeeded from Ron Atkinson in 1986. But, of course, it will be what sits in the trophy cabinet by the end of Moyes's tenure that will serve as the ultimate barometer between the two Scotsmen.
