If you still had Fergie at the helm, i'd probably agree with the above. But being as it's a new manager, I'm not really sure you can count on him getting as much out of the players as Fergie did.
I mean really when you look at Utd player for player they aren't really the strongest team, but somehow always managed to grind out the results. Plus Utd always seemed to go on a major run after Xmas. If Moyes can get this going for him, I think it'll be a quiet season for you. But so long as he's learning that's the main thing. It's by far the biggest change to any team in the summer regardless of Bale grabbing all the headlines.
