Manchester united in worry

After both Manchester sides slumped to unexpected defeats in the Premier League last weekend, it was always going to be interesting to see how they reacted in the Champions League this week.

The two clubs have been under huge scrutiny after a summer of drastic change and, with expectation levels sky high at Old Trafford and the Etihad, David Moyes and Manuel Pellegrini have their work cut out.

I have to say I’m genuinely feeling for David Moyes at the moment, given he has the unenviable task of taking over from a living legend in Alex Ferguson, a man who brought the glory back to Old Trafford and sustained it for 20 years or so. No matter who replaced him, his successor was going to find it hard following in those footsteps.
