Manchester United boss David Moyes rejects Fergie fear factor

David Moyes has rubbished claims Manchester United are struggling because of the absence of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson was in the stands on Saturday and would have been frustrated to see Adam Lallana scramble in Southampton's equaliser in the 89th minute to cancel out Robin van Persie's early strike. And Moyes was upset at the inability of his players to kill off the game having led for so long. "It's disappointing because we wanted to get a bit of momentum going and we weren't able to do that," the Scot added. "We didn't do well enough defensively. We work on that in training but we should probably have put the game to bed earlier on. But we've got to do better at set-pieces, make sure we defend it and make sure we're harder to score against than we were."
