It had to happen. Mighty Manchester United and their manager have parted ways, just a year or so after the legendary Alex Ferguson retired. David Moyes left the team, just before he was rumored to be fired.
The 20 time league champions are now languishing in 7th spot in the Premiership. In the teams history, they've also won 11 FA Cups, 20 Community Shields, 4 League Cups, 3 European Cups and one each of UEFA Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. During his 26 year tenure, Ferguson won 28 major honors and 38 in total.
In defense of Moyes (at least to some extent), it can't have been easy stepping into those shoes, with the expectation that the club would once again top the table. But it hasn't happened, and Moyes has become a scapegoat.
Fan favorite Ryan Giggs, who played with the Red Devils for years, has been tapped to step in in the interim.
I've been a supporter of Man U for decades, starting when CBC used to show the "Match of the Week" Saturday afternoons, and I'm proud to say I'm still a supporter, even with the club in the middle of the pack.
I'm also sure the Devils will once again return to the top (or near to the top) of the Premier League table within a year or 2.
GO DEVILS!!!
