The problems for United go well beyond David Moyes. The good players in the squad are far past their sell by date, and the rest are a rabble. Add to that the financial mismanagement of giving Rooney an insane contract and signing Fellaini and Mata for well over the odds, when neither improved the first team particularly, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Even with a new manager and spend of up to £150mn on transfers in the summer, I'd rate United's chances of getting back in the top 4 as evens at best.
