Not necessarily. I think it is possible (hopefully) that we could evolve to an extent where in a couple of seasons Moyes may think we no longer need such an option and is prepared to listen to offers.

I thought we did that quite a bit last night, Fellaini was just generally abysmal at winning the aerial duel.
Thanks for that (not sure how to do the image thing by the way). As I suspected though, a large majority of his passes were backwards or at best sideways.
Very much agree with that first bit. His big game performances will surely improve when he has someone with genuine possession and passing qualities a la Kroos alongside him.
Shocking though isn't it? I thought I was watching Forrest Gump
Apt comparison!All managers make mistakes, accept that and move forward. The team should always be his first priority. If he's worried about what press reaction will be then he is absolutely the wrong man for the job.
You don't know how to defend then if you don't know what to do. If the man you are marking has time to drop back and win an uncontested header from six yards out then it is your fault period.
You're just showing a complete misunderstanding of football here DFresh. As a central defender you can't defend goal side whilst at the same time defending a deep cross, Rio is in a perfect position as a central defender defending a cross.
I don't think he has the confidence in his own ability at the moment, and still seems a bit overawed by the prospect of playing for Manchester United.
No, you are failing to understand defending full stop. When a cross comes in you have every chance to beat the man you are marking, not stand off him five yards and let him nod it back.
Says it all really
Can anyone gif that part where he dribbled the ball sideways across the pitch and eventually out of play
There was a header from a United corner that he headed away from goal, unless he lost the header. It's hard to tell with his stupid hair.
There is something rather mesmerizing about that, in a car crashy kind of a way. Just watched it for a good 2 or 3 minutes and I went from laughter to actual genuine sadness in that short time.
It's not just his ball watching. He does not track runners, does not try and make interceptions. The worst is his ambling at the half-way line when our strikers are busting a gut to cover the space he has left behind.
It makes me chuckle when people suggest that he has a good touch or is technically proficient in any way.
Good touch for a big man? Although I have never seen Crouch do something quite so Sunday league as that gif.
He's so bad you can't even give him a good touch for a big man patronising like with Crouch. He's unbelievably bad.
He runs across the width of the pitch never even changing direction always just chasing the ball and never having it really under control. Ribery was probably wondering where the feck is this guy running off to.That's the one. Absolutely clueless.
Stupendous dribble btw, he even slide tackles later than the guy chasing him
Unless he's driving the bus to the Allianz, there is no way he could be of any use for the second leg.
Me too.
It was Alaba. Which is much better.
I remember him muscling a player of the ball in a central position about 30 yards from our goal. Maybe he won two tackles after all!
