Much has been made of Manchester United’s poor start to the season. And whilst the fact that the club is currently eighth in the Premier League table is hard to take, United have faced a tough fixture list and David Moyes does need some time to adjust to his new surroundings.
I understand the frustration of United fans. What I don’t understand, is all the ‘#MoyesOut’ hysteria. This attitude often has a negative effect on players and can suck the life out of match-day performances. It’s just not healthy. Is it so much to ask that fans wait until the end of the season before brandishing their pitchforks?
Having said that, it does seem as though January can’t come quickly enough for Manchester United. Throughout the summer, it was clear that David Moyes was on the hunt for a creative midfielder. Unfortunately, he came up empty-handed.
Instead, he brought in Marouane Fellaini, a defensive midfielder. Suffice to say, David Moyes has plenty more work to do when the January transfer window re-opens. Who knows, if he makes a couple of smart signings, he could even drag the club back into contention this year.
Wouldn’t it be something if Manchester United could bring in a player like Andres Iniesta? According to The Star, the Spanish ace has turned down a new contract with Barcelona as he’s unhappy with the new terms he’s been offered.
It’s thought that he’s been offered a ‘double-your-money-deal’ worth £200k-a-week. Apparently this isn’t enough. This could leave the door open for Manchester United to sneak in and tempt him away.
Of course, it would take a huge sum of money to tempt Barcelona into selling. But the current situation and the player’s age (he’s now 29-years-old) may make the La Liga club more open to negotiations than they have been in the past.
When it comes to players like Andres Iniesta, it’s certainly worth testing the water and seeing if Barca bite. Imagine the impact that Andres Iniesta would have in the Premier League.
Yes, the January transfer window is still some way off, but given United’s slow start to the season, it makes sense to start planning now. Andres Iniesta is the kind of world-class talent that United needs.
David Moyes failed in negotiations to sign Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas. Let’s hope his second attempt to sign a Barca player are somewhat more fruitful.
What’s your take? Could Manchester United really pull off a sensational deal for Andres Iniesta?

If Barca sell him then they are on some very strong drugs impossible
I think we must go for iniesta his got more experience then any want mid player we want to sell so moyes do ya best I imagine myself seeing kagawa ,feillaini,carrick and iniesta combined together…ggmu
It wud be awsome he wud be a really gud buy he can provide cover for some years before the likes of januzaz n lingard r integrated into the first team wud love him he is the best cm in the world
Plus young welbeck cleverly valencia anderson shud be sold
definately iniesta is world class. him kagawa rooney rvp adnan and chicharito can improve the club
No way baca will let him go, plus would he go to utd? Dout it very much when u have the likes of psg and monaco throwing 300k plus at players, sorry utd fans but he is too much out of ur league
It’s good though to bring him to mutd. Go ahead don’t be hesitate.
he is a kind of play dat man u needs
no way,he’s only trying to make the board increase his salary & nothing more.
What i would love 2 c happend in january transfer window – hulk on the left – iniesta in the middle – mata on the right – Robert lawendowski in front u know what I mean. (Cleverly – young – welback – anderson) must be sold. Than we will have – THE TEAM – in The premier league. So let’s go and hunt For these players – MR MOYERS
C’mon lads Dnt b silly iniesta is never going to leave Barca he is going to retire there like Messi and xavi. That’s like saying Man U are selling van persie. Bullshit story.
We need to get realistic cuz he will sign a new contract like ronaldo did!
We need to get rid of young, Welbeck Valencia and Anderson and get 1 world class midfielder
We got nani Zaha giggs and januzaj for the wing and Rooney RVP and Chico strikers.
Oh yeh moyes needs to go cuz he is trying to make united play like Everton boring football.
We lost to city and I wonder why moyes never played Zaha or januzaj atleast they wud of created some chances, not like young who gave the ball away and let the opposition score.
Young has never been gud enuf!
I like to see mourinho manage united.
And finally we defiantly ain’t winning shiitt this year!
