Man Utd: David Moyes criticises Premier League fixture list
Comments (202)
Manchester United manager David Moyes has criticised his side's opening to the Premier League season, describing it as the "hardest start for 20 years".
Moyes is unhappy with the way the fixtures have come out for his side.
"I find it hard to believe that's the way the balls came out of the bag, that's for sure," said the Scot.
"I hope it's not because Manchester United won the league quite comfortably last year [that] the fixtures have been made much more difficult."
Moyes also refused to be drawn on whether Wayne Rooney, who has been linked with a move away from the club, would feature in Saturday's season-opener at Swansea.
Rooney missed Sunday's Community Shield win over Wigan with a shoulder injury but was fit enough to start England's international friendly victory over Scotland on Wednesday before being replaced by match-winner Rickie Lambert.
"It was great for Wayne to get fitness and he played for 65 minutes or so, so overall I was really pleased with the outcome," said Moyes, who was at the game to watch Rooney and his club-mates Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley.
"Hopefully when I get back to Old Trafford I will be able to tell you how he is and how his fitness is so. Until I assess that I can't say any more."Comment:

The excuses are starting already, i can see Moyes sat on ferguson's knee, with ferguson's arm up the back of his shirt!
TS:
He said: “I find it hard to believe that’s the way the balls came out of the bag, that’s for sure. I think it’s the hardest start Manchester United have had for 20 years and I hope it’s not because Man United won the league quite comfortably last season that the fixtures have been made much more difficult. It is certainly something I would question.
“But you have to play every team twice and if we’ve got a tough start then the others have as well in playing Manchester United.”
