I wonder if David Moyes turned to Sir Alex on the plane back after last nights 5-0 win over Leverkusen and said ‘I thought this Champions League was supposed to be difficult?!’
United under Moyes have made simple work of the group stage of the Champions League this year however what does it really tell us so far?
Valencia’s haka paid off, as nearly all of the starting XI performed superbly.

In what came as a massive surprise to almost everyone, Manchester United went to the BayArena and savaged hosts Bayer Leverkusen by a score of 5-0. In doing so, United qualified for the next round of the Champions League, almost certainly as group winners. After conceding another late equaliser in the 2-2 draw at Cardiff on Sunday, the team needed a good performance and result to put our restless minds at ease.

Stretford End have writers that provide knowledge, debate and some fantastic articles. It was inevitable that we would be approached at some point to feed this to the masses in other ways. Copa90 and HTC asked Stretford End if we could support them on their programme – The Euro Fan.
Unfortunately all the decent writers were unavailable so they were left stuck with me to guide them around the city and give a United point of view to the European experience.
This is what happened.

It’s strange how Europe has so far has been a welcome distraction from the attention that’s come with the side’s league form. Against Leverkusen and Shakhtar United were good and with Real Sociedad coming to Old Trafford, expectations were that United should be winning this one. Moyes made four changes from Saturday with Valencia, Giggs, Kagawa and Hernandez in for Nani, Fellaini, Januzaj and van Persie. We welcome comments from all fans.
Manchester United welcome Spanish side Real Sociedad to Old Trafford on Wednesday hoping to pick up after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday afternoon. The visitors will be boosted but their excellent win over Valencia and will be eager to pick up their first point, or points, in the group stage so far having lost both previous fixtures. The Basque club are struggling to match the heights of last season following the loss of Asier Illarramendi and with ex-Arsenal forward Carlos Vela looking out of sorts, looking to follow his former team mate the Bernabeu.
The two clubs have never met before and David Moyes will be hoping his luck turns for the third group game. As always, we welcome comments from both sets of fans.

United went into a tricky away game at Shakhtar off the back of poor domestic form and with the late blow that Rooney got a whack in training on Tuesday and was therefore unavailable. Moyes opted to recall Rafael, Vidic, Smalling, Evra, Valencia, Fellaini Cleverley, Welbeck and van Persie as he made nine changes from the weekend defeat to West Brom. We welcome comments from all fans.
Manchester United travel over 2,000 miles on Wednesday to take on Shakhtar Donetsk in what will surely prove to be the toughest away trip of the group. United are in poor form and David Moyes is under pressure following a 2-1 home defeat to WBA last Saturday and a thumping 4-1 loss to Manchester City the previous Sunday. The United manager voiced concerns in the week that the English Champions are a fair few world class players short to challenge for Champions League honours, an opinion voiced by many fans who saw a number of botched transfer negotiations explode over the summer.
United have a chance to build on their 4-2 opening win against Bayern Leverkusen a few weeks ago. We caught up with a man who knows Shakhtar well and he discussed the highly rated Brazilian pair, Wellington Nem and Bernand, and what the fans think of United post Ferguson.

Let me make it quite clear, I don’t like Wayne Rooney. As a footballer when he’s on form he is sublime but as a person I do not have the time of day for him.
It didn’t always use to be this way though; the kid who arrived from Everton and made such an impact was a sensation. He was a terrace favourite and had the fans eating out of his hands at times.
Fast forward 10 years however and the story today is a much different one. 2 attempts to leave the club and general belief from the fans that his heart is not in it has led to a difficult situation for the fans.
Manchester United and David Moyes got their 2013/14 Champions League season off with a bang, beating German side Bayern Leverkusen 4-2 at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney, who was by some distance the man of the match, notched a brace, whilst Robin van Persie and Antonio Valencia scored the other two.
Rolfes had equalised early in the second half following Wayne Rooney’s opener, but some poor keeping and an exquisite van Persie finish gave United the initiative. United were well worthy of the three points despite a late goal from Toprak after a David De Gea error. Here we discuss the talking points from the game and welcome comments from both sets of fans.

David Moyes will take charge of his first Champions League (proper) game tonight when United host Bayer Leverkusen. He’ll have a strong squad to pick a side from as Kagawa returns from flu but Welbeck and Jones are doubts, Rafael isn’t quite fit, Nani is suspended and Januzaj is ineligible for now. United’s group has been widely acknowledged to be pretty tricky so winning the home games will be vital.
