Manchester United fans should expect a season of transition and should expect a few disappointing results according to former player Gary Neville who has urged everybody to give new manager David Moyes the necessary time to adapt to his new surroundings at Old Trafford following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
The former Manchester United captain has urged supporters and the club to give new manager David Moyes time to adapt to life at Old Trafford. The former Everton boss took over from Sir Alex Ferguson just two weeks ago and is expected to be under pressure this season to deliver at the very least a place in next seasons UEFA Champions League.
Whilst Neville admits United could struggle to retain their Barclays Premier League crown he was confident the squad at Moyes disposal was good enough to ensure the Red Devils didn't miss out on playing amongst Europe's elite.
"The title may be hard to achieve this season as Chelsea and City will strengthen I'm sure. It's the toughest competition to win and with Sir Alex leaving it'll be a year of transition for the club, but I'm confident the squads good enough to finish in the top four. Manchester United belong in the UEFA Champions League playing amongst the best in Europe," said Neville.
"I'd like to think the club and fans will accept that this season could be tougher than what we're accustom to. There will be some bad results I'm sure, some periods that aren't to kind and that's football. We need to give David Moyes the time to make his mark, hopefully he'll get the time required," added the former England international.
United begin their Barclays Premier League title defence against West Ham United at Old Trafford. Moyes will take charge of his first competitive fixture as United boss when they face Wigan Athletic in the FA Community Shield a week earlier.

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of signing Belgian international Marouane Fellaini in a deal that would cost the current Barclays Premier League champions more than £30 million.
The deal could be done before the Red Devils depart for their pre-season tour of the United States, but Everton have remained silent and have been unwilling to confirm or deny reports that the Belgian is set to leave Goodison Park.
The 25 year old became the clubs most expensive signing back in 2008 when David Moyes, who is now the United manager, paid £16 million to lure him away from Standard Liège and the Belgian international has gone on to make 138 appearances in the Barclays Premier League for the Toffees scoring 25 times in his five seasons in Merseyside.
Reports suggest the midfielder will express his desire to leave Goodison Park for Old Trafford if the deal is financially right for Everton and new manager Roberto Martínez could heavily strengthen his squad this summer ahead of the new Barclays Premier League season if he's allowed to reinvest the reported £30 million transfer fee that United would pay.
It's expected that Fellaini will sign a five year contract worth a reported £90,000 a week if he joins United.

Manchester United manager David Moyes says he's confident he'll succeed at the helm of the Premier League champions despite the intense pressure he'll be under after replacing Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.
Manchester United are in good hands according to new manager David Moyes who today declared his confidence that he'll succeed at Old Trafford. The former Everton boss replaced the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson at the beginning of July.
"Taking charge of Manchester United is a massive honour and I'm delighted to be here," said Moyes.
"I want the fans to know that the club is in good hands, the setup here is fantastic and it'll allow me to achieve what's expected over the next few years. I'm confident we'll be challenging for major trophies every season and be competing with the best teams in Europe. I loved my time at Everton and I firmly believe that it's left me prepared for life as the new manager of Manchester United. As I said I'm confident I'll succeed at this fantastic club during my time here," added the Scot.
The Scot has already overseen some changes at Old Trafford in his first week as Steven Round, Chris Woods, Phil Neville and Jimmy Lumsden all left Everton to join United's backroom staff. That however meant that assistant manager Mike Phelan, first team coach René Meulensteen and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele were no longer required and left the club.
It's been rumoured that Moyes will make midfielder Marouane Fellaini and left back Leighton Baines, who both played under the new Manchester United boss during his time at Goodison Park, his main transfer targets this summer.
It's believed Moyes has been given close to £60 million to spend on players this summer by the United's owners.
Moyes however was unwilling to talk about another clubs players publicly.
"I won't be talking about transfers today or any other day, I think it's disrespectful to talk about players who are contracted to another club, I've never done it before and I'm not going to start doing it now," said the United boss.
"Obviously they're both fantastic players and any club would love to have individuals like them amongst their ranks, but as I've said they're Everton players and I won't be talking about targeting players at other clubs," added Moyes.

He's got to go but I reckon he'll be given about 7-10 games into next season.
