“I Don’t Know Why Everyone Is Looking At Moyes” – Rafael Says United Players Are To Blame

Manchester United defender Rafael, has said that the players and not new manager David Moyes, should be blamed for their poor season.

The current Premier League champions, defeated Swansea 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday, to avoid losing four straight matches for the first time in 53 years, but the win leaves then in seven spot, five points off the top four.

Moyes has been heavily criticized in the media, with United losing six times in the league and getting dumped out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle, but the Brazilian said it is not his doing.

“I don’t know why everyone is looking at the manager,” Rafael said. “It’s the players who have to do the job on the pitch.



“We’ve spoken about it a lot. We have to show our quality. People are saying United don’t have a good squad. We have to show that is not true.
“We have to be consistent. We have been up and down a lot. To win a title or to get in the top four we have to play every game like we did in this one. To have three losses in a row – and two of them at Old Trafford – is not normal.

“We are together. We knew there would be a change. The manager had just left after 27 years. It was always going to be hard.

“We have to take the mentality David Moyes has given us and use it on the pitch. It’s quite a big difference. David Moyes has a strong mentality. He is doing his own job. We have to use that in a positive way.

“We are the ones who have to take the responsibility, like we did in the second half against Swansea.”
