Preview: Moyes out to restore confidence
David Moyes reignited harsh calls for his dismissal when Manchester United failed to win away to Cardiff City last weekend. The former Everton boss is having a hard time to please supporters since succeeding the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson.
What is almost certain is that the Red Devils will be in the next stage of the UEFA Champions League. Condemning Bayern Leverkusen to their first defeat at the BayArena since March will guarantee Last 16 tickets for Moyes' men. However, they will need to improve on their performances along the way to increase the confidence within the team and among fans.
In their last Champions League game, Man United were far from impressive. They stumbled to an uninspiring goalless draw. Ashley Young’s stunning dive for a penalty—which Robin van Persie eventually missed—is what made the most noise in the media.
The Red Devils will want to give people something better to talk about this Wednesday. In the absence of red-carded Marouane Fellaini, Manchester United will try to complete the double over Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. The first meeting between the two teams produced an entertaining 4-2 win for the hosts at Old Trafford.
