Finally after months of speculation and leaked reports over the Easter weekend Manchester United have confirmed this week that David Moyes is leaving. Following on from Sir Alex Ferguson's 26 year reign as manager of the club was always going to be a tall order, but people can forget that when Ferguson took over in the 86/87 season Manchester United dropped from 4th to 11th in the league. They had a brief return to form finishing 2nd in 1988 before slipping back to 11th in 1989 and even 13th in 1990. It took some time for Ferguson to shape the team in the way that he wanted and whilst I am sure he was under pressure at the time, he was given the space to develop the team and from 1991 to 2013 they were never out of the top 3.
