Manchester United fans have warned David Moyes he must turn around the club’s fortunes – after he wrote a letter apologising for the season.
The under-fire Old Trafford boss was told the support he still has will be eroded unless there is a positive finish to one of United’s worst campaigns of modern times.
Andrew Kilduff, from Stretford End Flags, said the letter from Moyes – sent to season-ticket holders – was ill-timed and claimed it was performances, not words of apology, that were needed from the United boss.
“It’s a big month for Moyes and with every performance, result and team selection analysed, the words and body language he is portraying are a battle for himself,” said Kilduff.
“Analysed by both media and fans, his words need backing up on the pitch or it won’t be long till the fans vocally turn against him.”

 

Kilduff, spokesman for the independent supporters group, said information on season ticket renewals came out in February, three months earlier than usual.
He added: “It wasn’t the best PR move by the club, as the team in most seasons are still challenging for the league in February and in most years challenging in Europe. That’s not the case this season and the prospect of Europa football is putting some fans off renewing.
“With those renewals usually come words from Sir Alex, words full of optimism and promise. These have been replaced by words of apology. Words promising a turnaround in the future but words echoing the feeling of fans who are gradually beginning to turn against the manager.
“I’m fully behind Moyes, his defining moment isn’t now but in 12 months’ time when we can assess the summer and January 2015 transfer window.”
