The Dutchman has created a new-look side since taking over in charge

It's been one hell of a rollercoaster year for Manchester United, who started the year hopelessly with
one manager and end it somewhat optimistically with another.
Kicking off 2014 with FA Cup and League Cup elimination, David Moyes' six-year contract as boss at
Old Trafford was continually questioned as United looked a shadow of their former selves under Sir
Alex Ferguson's compatriot replacement.
Following Moyes' sacking in April United appear to be revitalised under former Holland manager
Louis van Gaal, who joined in the summer and broke the British transfer record with the signing of
Angel Di Maria. Rajvir Rai reviews the year for Manchester United.

David Moyes started the year under a dark cloud as he struggled as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor

JANUARY
A month that very much set the tone for the rest of David Moyes doomed reign saw Manchester
United crash out of the FA Cup (losing to Swansea at Old Trafford at the first hurdle) and the Capital
One Cup (losing on penalties against Sunderland). A humbling 3-1 defeat against Chelsea in the
middle of the month left the reigning champions 14 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
The 37.1million signing of Juan Mata from Chelsea, however, did provide some cause for optimism.

FEBRUARY
Despite the addition of Mata, United still could not click into top gear and managed a single win a 20 victory at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace. Uniteds struggles were best summed up in the 2-2
home draw against Fulham, which saw Darren Bent score in Fergie Time for the visitors a sign
that Old Trafford was no longer the fortress of old. Amazingly, Moyes side put in 81 crosses during
the game, with Fulhams Dan Burn saying afterward: Ive (not) headed that many balls since the
Conference! On the plus side, Wayne Rooney ended speculation over his future by signing a new
five-and-a-half-year contract.

MARCH
Two successive 3-0 home defeats against Liverpool and Manchester City piled the pressure on
Moyes. A 3-0 victory over Olympiakos secured Uniteds place in the Champions League quarter
finals, but the atmosphere around certain sections of Old Trafford seemed to be growing more toxic.
Marouane Fellainis substitution during the Manchester derby was greeted with loud applause and
during the next home game, a 4-1 victory over Aston Villa, a plane carrying an anti-Moyes banner
flew over the ground though it was booed by the large sections of the home fans. United ended the
month 15 points off leaders Chelsea and 10 behind Arsenal in fourth.

After just 10 months in job, Moyes who was given a six-year contract after replacing Sir Alex
Ferguson was sacked. Ironically the nail in the coffin was delivered by his former club Everton who
eased to a comfortable 2-0 win on the Scots first return to Goodison Park. Earlier in the month,
United crashed out of the Champions League as they were beaten 3-1 (4-2 on agg) by Bayern
Munich, despite taking a surprise lead in the Allianz Arena through Patrice Evra. Ryan Giggs took
over as interim manager and started his reign with a thumping 4-0 home win over Norwich.

MAY
The euphoria of the Giggs era which also saw former Class of 92 members Phil Neville, Nicky Butty

to Sunderland. In what proved to be Giggs farewell game at Old Trafford a 3-1 win over Hull
there were debuts for youngsters Tom Lawrence and James Wilson. A 1-1 draw with Southampton on
the final day saw United finish 22 points behind champions City in seventh their worst Premier
League finish. Eight days after the season finished, Louis van Gaal was appointed as manager with
Giggs as his assistant.

With the Premier League over all eyes were on the World Cup and Van Gaals Holland to see what
lay ahead at Old Trafford. Back in Manchester, chief executive Ed Woodward, under pressure after a
botched summer 12 months earlier, swung into action as United announced the signings of Ander
Herrera for 29m from Athletic Bilbao and Luke Shaw from Southampton for 30m. Alexander Buttner
became the first casualty of the new era, leaving for Dynamo Moscow as speculation grew as to how
Van Gaal would transform his squad.

With the World Cup over, Van Gaal arrived for his first day of work at Carrington on the 16th. By this
point stalwarts Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, as well as a number of fringe players,

even Cristiano Ronaldo. The Dutchmans first press conference will be remembered for his plea that
it will take three months for his new squad to understand his philosophy. But Van Gaals first game
was a thumping 7-0 friendly win over LA Galaxy and was followed by victories over Roma and Inter
Milan.

AUGUST
Uniteds impressive pre-season form continued with victories over Real Madrid, Liverpool and
Valencia. The new era was well and truly under way as United lined up in an unfamiliar 3-5-2
formation and Rooney was appointed the clubs new captain. Optimism abounded after such an
impressive pre-season, but the mood quickly changed as Swansea ruined the party on the opening
day of the season, winning 2-1 at Old Trafford in Van Gaals first competitive game in charge. Two
league draws against Burnley and Sunderland followed, as well as a humbling 4-0 defeat in the
Capital One Cup to MK Dons. United again dipped into the transfer market, adding Argentine duo
Marcos Rojo and Angel Di Maria for a combined 66m.

September started with a bang as Radamel Falcao arrived on loan from Monaco and Daley Blind

Danny Welbeck was sold to rivals Arsenal. At the fourth time of asking, Van Gaal finally got his first
win as United thumped QPR 4-0 at Old Trafford. A week later, however, they were embarrassed
again as they lost 5-3 to Leicester squandering a 3-1 lead. Uniteds injury worries continued as Van
Gaal was forced to turn to youngsters Tyler Blackett and Paddy McNair in the absence of Shaw,
Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.

NOVEMBER
Defeat in the Manchester derby courtesy of a Sergio Aguero strike and a first-half Chris Smalling
red card - meant it was Uniteds worst start to a season since 1986. Level on points with West Brom
and Newcastle, Van Gaals side were already 13 points behind league leaders Chelsea. But three
wins on the bounce against Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Hull lifted United into the Champions League
places. Two clean sheets in four games were a welcome boost after Uniteds defence had been so
porous earlier in the season.

Uniteds good form extended into the Christmas period with wins over Stoke, Southampton, Liverpool

players such as Rooney and Carrick but Van Gaals side were still 10 points behind league leaders
Chelsea and just three points ahead of Southampton and Arsenal in fourth and fifth. With the
January transfer window set to open, United were again being linked with big money moves notably

It was a year that could go right way or highway but fortunately Manchester United choose a
right a man to lead them into a great future under Louis Van Gaal they will flourished in his
guideline next season i expect Pellegrini won't survived into job either this year or next year
similar to Mourinho will he leave in foreseeable future? but i i believe there are more to come for
Manchester United especially Wayne Rooney as captain i believe someone will come and
overshadowed Wayne which my estimate would be a young talented prospect i leave a dot mark
for that.

LVG is experiencing the same inconsistencies that Mourinho experienced last season. Give
LVG another year and I'm sure Utd will be better than ever!

GRAHAM HUNTER: Barcelona are unravelling


dramatically as the vandalism of expresident Sandro Rosell has put the marriage of
Lionel Messi and sublime football on the brink of
a divorce
JAMIE CARRAGHER: Everton are on their worst run
for 10 years, but the fans must back manager
Roberto Martinez
MARTIN KEOWN: Ross Barkley can be the next
Steven Gerrard, but Everton must return to last
season's form if the midfielder is to show the
same loyalty as the Liverpool captain
CHARLES SALE: Football agents up in arms after
FIFA pull out of trying to control game's middlemen
NASSER HUSSAIN: England are in a mess... so
let's just give it a bash at the World Cup
GRAHAM POLL: Chris Foy should have sent off
Gary Cahill for diving at Stamford Bridge but he
was right to book Willian
DEREK LAWRENSON: Rory McIlroy on course for
record high as imperious world No 1 continues to
dominate
SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: England guts up front
and speed in the backs can tame brutal South
Africa
WORLD OF RUGBY: RFU laws offer open invitation
to game's divers as rugby is in danger of
introducing football-style 'simulation' to con
officials
NEIL ASHTON: Frank Lampard, David Beckham,
Gary Neville, John Terry or another of the 'Golden
Generation' should be the next England boss...
those boys have The Knowledge
ASH WEDNESDAY: Manchester United will never
reproduce the Class of 92, but Louis van Gaal
must cling to club's history and not sell youth
players (even if it's too late for Danny Welbeck)

TONY, MANCHESTER, United Kingdom, 3 weeks ago

More watched Utd when in Div2 (74-5) than City last yr as PL champions. And Blue's would have
the nerve to say Manchester is theirs..................... Yea right !

Best news for us this yr was being voted the loudest fans in PL . After all the glory hunting tags
we have unduly earned this confirms our commitment to UTD win or lose

Two tiers this yr . City and CFC. Big Gap then AFC, MUFC, LFC . All reds know this to be right
so why make ridiculous claims of winning PL ? Wise up lads

We are sadly no where near the standard set by CFC and City. Get a grip lads. Best supporters
by a country mile following an average side. Sad but TRUE

Lol comedy company , what title challenge, you are as close to 9th spot a you are to 1st what a
laugh, and I can tell you picking 12 point in the last 6 games was a lot of referee help again and
just scraped through on a fluke.... lol wake up to yourselves, you wont even be in the top 4... No
champions league again....
