Heading into our pre-season our transfer business is pretty much done and dusted. I decided the Manchester United careers of Anderson, Alexander Büttner, Ashley Young and Federico Macheda were over so they all left, to be honest no real surprise there. The surprises come with the departures of Danny Welbeck and Nani for a combined amount of £52 million. Personally I think we've enough midfielders to play with one up front if needed and I believe Javier Hernández is a better goalscorer than Danny Welbeck so I reluctantly decided to let him go for £22 million.

I had my eyes on Xherdan Shaqiri and when Chelsea decided to part way with £30 million for Nani I decided to accept. I've brought in Keisuke Honda as I feel he can offer another option and is a very creative player, whilst I broke the clubs transfer record to secure David Alaba who can play competently in no less than eight positions.

After looking at the squad I noticed a few players that I believe will feature heavily over the next season or two for the club have contracts expiring soon, so naturally it was time to negotiate and secure their futures. Patrice Evra, Fábio, Nemanja Vidić, Michael Carrick, Adnan Januzaj and Jesse Lingard have all signed new deals.

So I've taken the reigns at Old Trafford on an initial one year contract. Eventually I'll mould, shape and produce a team of my own, but honestly I doubt I'll change much in my first season at the club. Perhaps I'll send Anderson, Alexander Büttner and Ashley Young on their way, but that just depends on potential suitors obviously.

My first piece of business was to introduce myself to the players and I let them know I'm confident we can win the Barclays Premier League this season. The board expect me to challenge, which is fair enough, I've agreed to that, although as current champions I'll be hoping we can retain our crown and the players seem to agree with me.

Clearly star striker Robin van Persie is going to be my bff (best friend forever) which is nice!!

I'll be beginning the game in January 2013 as it allows me to choose my own pre-season fixtures.

Galatasaray - Juventus has just been abandoned due to the weather conditions. /o\


Abandoned or suspended for the field to be cleared of snow?

Being outplayed at OT again. Yay.


If Shakhtar could actually finish we'd be fucked by this stage.

EDIT: Ferdinand is so past it I don't know whether to cry or laugh about it.

Yeah it's a bit odd that he's opening all the team balls himself and hiding his hands doing so whilst taking forever.

Of course he's bitter, I honestly don't think many people wouldn't be bitter after the way it ended after such a successful period. No doubt he sits around and thinks he could have stayed at Old Trafford like Scholes did or how Giggs has. In a way he's right though, throughout his career at Old Trafford Fergie was ruthless and was very quick to get rid of players, which some would see as a lack of loyalty, the likes of Stam, Ince, Beckham or Van Nistelrooy.

Some strike that from Giroud.

Very unlucky not to have won the game for Arsenal there.

Swansea at home would usually be a game I'd be very confident of winning but now on our current form.

The worst thing now is the amount of people on facebook saying give Moyes time to build like Fergie did and shit like that. He's inherited a Premier League winning squad and whilst I didn't expect us to win the Premier League this season or next I never thought we'd be 9th in December and playing absolutely dreadful football. Can't see the board willing to splash out massive amounts on players in January either unless things change between now and then on the pitch!!

We've not looked like a Manchester United side in most games this season, especially at home. The worst thing about Moyes buying Fellaini is he's had him before at Everton and now doesn't seem to have a clue where to play him and how to get the best out of him.

And that Hernandez dive right there is exactly why we need to start banning players who dive. He launches himself into the air with an expression on his face like he's been chopped in half when he hasn't been touched.
