Where does United go from here?

 It was always going to be a difficult start for the first United side to begin a season with out Sir Alex. It is clear that it has been a hard kick off for Moyes and co. But it is a long season and while there is work to be done this season can be still be successful one for the Reds. This is a rebuilding year and that means Moyes and his staff should not only be looking to win the league this year but they should be looking to build a team that will win in the seasons to come. The first things that need to be addressed (since they weren't during the summer) is the midfield and defense. It has been clear for sometime now that United need a to bring in a top quality midfielder. There is some debate about whether this player should be a a creative type or more defensive minded or maybe even both. However, this needs to be done as soon as possible. The defense must also be sorted out. With Rio and Vidic on the wain, it is time to give Smalling, Jones and Evans significantly more playing time. For these players to have a chance of developing into United quality starters they must get more experience. If this proves to be unsuccessful then United will have to look elsewhere for Rio and Vida's replacements. It is clear that this process needs to begin now!
   Finally, and possibly the most important thing that needs to happen is that Moyes must get the "United Atmosphere" back at Old Trafford. Moyes, his staff and Ed Woodward have failed to create a sense of confidence at the club so far during their tenure. Moyes' dealings with the media have been disastrous in my opinion. Manchester United is a massive club and someone should be helping David Moyes prepare for press conferences in the same way that the POTUS staff helps him prepare for the press. Whether he believes it or not, Moyes should not be making statements implying we cant win the league or whatever other competition he is discussing. The club should always be presenting a positive and confident face to the world. The same goes for his discussion of transfers. Moyes discussion of "improvement and transfer dealings" etc have been a complete failure. The only outcome has been to show he hasnt been able to get his man and possibly deteriorate his current players confidence. Just get me in the room with the man before a press conference! Ill do it for free.
   Moyes and his staff will figure it out it will just take time but hopefully they will do this sooner than later.
