David Moyes’ epic fails as Manchester United coach read


The news of David Moyes' removal as coach of football club, Manchester United was met with jubilation from most fans.
Club faithful have blamed Moyes' for the fall of the Red Devils from grace and many believe that with him out of the way Man. U can soar back to its former glory.
Here is a timelineof Moyes' rocky 10 month tenure as coach of Man. U:
September 1 – United suffer first defeat under Moyes as Daniel Sturridge gives Liverpool victory at Anfield. Wayne Rooney misses the game with a nasty head wound after being kicked in the head accidentally by Phil Jones in training.
September 22 – Hammered 4-1 at Manchester City. This time Robin van Persie is absent with a thigh injury.
September 28 – United lose 2-1 at home to West Brom, ending the Baggies' 35-year wait for an Old Trafford triumph.

October 19 – Concede last-minute Adam Lallana equaliser against Southampton at Old Trafford.
December 4 – Bryan Oviedo scores four minutes from time as Moyes' former club Everton end their 21-year wait for an away win over United.
December 6 – Rio Ferdinand criticises Moyes' policy of leaving it late to pick his teams, claiming on BT Sport: "It turns you into a madman."
December 7 – Yohan Cabaye gets the only goal as Newcastle win at Old Trafford for the first time since 1972.
December 10 – Van Persie suffers thigh injury taking a corner against Shakhtar Donetsk, and is ruled out for seven weeks.
January 1 – Rooney plays in the defeat by Tottenham but is then ruled out for four weeks with a groin injury.
January 5 – Swansea win at Old Trafford for the first time as Wilfried Bony's late goal sends United out of the FA Cup at the third-round stage for only the second time in 30 years.
January 7 – Defeat in Capital One Cup semi-final first leg at Sunderland means a third straight loss for the first time since May 2001.
January 19 – Skipper Nemanja Vidic is sent off as United crash to defeat at Chelsea.
January 22 – United beat Sunderland 2-1 in the Capital One Cup semi-final return leg thanks to Javier Hernandez's last-gasp effort in extra-time but come off worst in an awful penalty shoot-out, with only Darren Fletcher scoring from their five kicks.
February 1 – Stoke end their long wait for a win against United. Charlie Adam's double gives them their first since 1984.
February 7 – Vidic confirms he will leave at the end of the season.
February 9 – United come from behind to lead bottom side Fulham at Old Trafford, but Darren Bent's stoppage-time equaliser settles a 2-2 draw to deny the hosts all three points. Moyes describes the result as being "as bad as it gets".
February 25 – It proves gruesome in Greece for United in the Champions League last 16 as a poor performance sees the Red Devils beaten 2-0 by Olympiacos in Piraeus.
March 16 – Another day United will want to forget in a hurry as two Steven Gerrard penalties and a Luis Suarez strike earns Liverpool a crushing 3-0 win at Old Trafford. It could have been even worse for Moyes' men as Gerrard also hit the post with another penalty.
March 25 – United lose 3-0 to bitter rivals for the second consecutive home league game as a brace from Edin Dzeko and a late strike from Yaya Toure hands Manchester City a derby double over their city rivals. The result ensured United were guaranteed to end the season with their lowest points total in Premier League history.
April 9 – Despite an encouraging 1-1 draw in the first leg and taking the lead through Patrice Evra, the Red Devils go down 3-1 to defending champions Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Allianz Arena.
April 20 – Moyes' return to Goodison Park is turned into a nightmare as a Leighton Baines penalty and a goal from Kevin Mirallas hand Everton a 2-0 win, a result which means United cannot qualify for the Champions League.
April 22 – Moyes is sacked by United.
