Moyes may have been mocked by some for saying it, but there is no denying that United have faced some rather tough games. City, Liverpool and Chelsea are three of the hardest opponents United have to face and now they are out of the way until the second half of the season. Results may not have gone the way Moyes wanted, but it is a learning curve and the two rivals that United will really consider being title threats -City and Chelsea – are not that far ahead of them points wise.
