Man Utd: 5 Reasons Why It's All Gone Wrong For David Moyes

4. A Nightmare In The Transfer Window

On the pitch issues aside, United also endured a difficult period off it over the summer with their inactivity in the transfer market. While rivals Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and even Arsenal all spent bid on new recruits, the Red Devils only brought in rookie Guillermo Varela and Marouane Fellaini. The former has yet to play a game for United this season while the latter is looking more and more like a panic buy, signed on deadline day for way over his market value. That he was on the bench against the Baggies on Saturday is indicative of his current form, which has yet to look anywhere near as impressive as it did during his Everton days. United needed at least one more midfielder over the summer as well as a new left-back and a centre-back, and that they got neither is only one more reason why they're currently 12th in the table.
