Manchester United manager David Moyes has taken full responsibility for the back-to-back defeats against Everton and Newcastle United last week, but he is adamant that he can turn their season around, starting with a successful festive period.
The Red Devils fell short at Old Trafford on Wednesday night when they were beaten by Moyes’ old-side Everton, thanks to an 86th minute winner, and then just three days later, they lost at home again, this time to Alan Pardew’s Newcastle.
Speaking ahead of their Champions League tie tomorrow night, Moyes admits that the losses were all his fault.
“I take complete responsibility for the results, fortunately they’ve been good in the Champions League but not in the Premier League so I take responsibility for them as well and I would like them to be much better, and I’ve got no doubt they will,” said Moyes.
“The players aren’t happy because they’re used to winning and when they don’t win, that hurts them.
“They care very much, about their team, about their club, and they’ll respond in the right way, I’ve got no doubt about that.”
“They all understand it (the bigger picture),” added Moyes. “Most of them know exactly.
“Of course no-one expects Manchester United to lose games, no more so than me, but it is a fact and my job is to make it better.
“There will be [light at the end of the tunnel] because it is a transitional period and that was always going to be the case.
“I hoped it wouldn’t have been as poor as it has been in the last few games. When I came here I knew it was never going to be easy and it’s proved to be that way.”
