We’ve become accustomed to a Premier League manager telling us that Manchester United have been unlucky this season, but until now it has been David Moyes.
Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis has bought into Moyes’ defence and is inclined to agree with the beleaguered United manager.
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s match between the two sides, Pulis said: “I’ve watched the last three games on tapes and they could have won the games comfortably.
“The things they’re not getting, last year with Sir Alex (Ferguson), and I think he’d be the first one to say it, they did have breaks.
“They never played as well as what they did the previous year, but they had breaks and they won the games and that momentum took them forward.
“Unfortunately with Dave they haven’t had the breaks so they’ve not been able to pick-up momentum.
“They’ve wonderful players, it’s a wonderful football club and, you know, we’re proud to host them on Saturday.”
