David Moyes and the Manchester United players are really suffering at the moment - and I don't see things getting better for them any time soon.

Sack
I don't think Moyes' job is under threat at the moment, although if this time next year they're still struggling and not buying big players then there will be a problem. People say Man United aren't a club that sack managers but the reason why they haven't been a club to sack managers is because they've had the best manager for the past 27 years. They haven't had to sack anyone. If they didn't have Ferguson in charge they'd probably be like any other team in that, when things go wrong, they'd look elsewhere. I wouldn't rule United out of making the top four - I absolutely think they can achieve that - while they can turn around their Capital One Cup semi-final first leg deficit, too. David Moyes is 12/1 with Sky Bet to be the next Premier League boss to go But can they win the title? I don't think there's any possibility of that at the moment. I'm tipping them to get back to winning ways on Saturday Night Football this weekend, though. It's hard because Swansea won at Old Trafford last week in the FA Cup and when you go back to a club you've recently defeated you have a good feeling about it and see no reason why you can't do it again, plus Michael Laudrup's side will be boosted if Rooney and Van Persie aren't playing. But I'm going for a narrow 2-1 home win. Normally, you select a Manchester United home win and wonder how many they'll win by - but that's not the case at the moment.
