Away Victory Eases Pressure Off United

 

Manchester United eased some of the pressure on manager David Moyes as they cruised to a 3-0 Premier League victory over struggling West Brom at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

Despite their recent problems, West Brom started well.

Victor Anichebe caused panic by charging down Jones’ early attempted clearance, but Patrice Evra came to the rescue.

The Nigerian charged at the United defence again, but Chris Smalling did just enough to push the striker wide.

United started to take a hold of the game around the quarter-hour mark, with Juan Mata and Adnan Januzaj pinging dangerous crossed into the box.

Phil Jones headed United ahead before Wayne Rooney scored his 13th of season after the break.

United rarely looked in trouble and substitute Danny Welbeck rounded off the win which moved Moyes’ team up to sixth in the Premier League.

United got thet win they desperately needed following the UEFA Champions League defeat against Olympiakos that unfolded nearly a fortnight ago.

Moyes wrote to United supporters earlier this week thanking them for their patience during what he admitted was a far worse debut season than he ever expected.
