David Moyes believes that West Ham and Manchester United are ‘direct rivals’

David Moyes says that his West Ham United are ‘direct rivals’ to Premier League giants Manchester United. Considering the poor performance that we have seen from the Old Trafford squad this season, Moyes just might be right.

The moniker ‘Premier League giants’ fits when you consider their history. However, Manchester United’s performance so far this season has been subpar at best.

An early exit from the Carabao Cup and a devastating Champions League campaign have left their season in shambles. Erik Ten Hag’s men will be looking to get back on track this Saturday.

Moyes had plenty to say while talking to Mirror, He mentioned that playing against Manchester United is always something that makes him happy. Let’s have a look at what else he had to say.

‘It says a lot about where we are at the moment and what we’re doing that you’re talking about West Ham as direct rivals to Manchester United,’

West Ham are currently just one point behind Manchester United on the Premier League table. Moyes’ argument sounds more fair when you take this into account.

He said that the Hammers will be playing to get 3 points from the Red Devils on Saturday. His ultimate goal this campaign is to help the team qualify for European glory for the fourth consecutive time.

Manchester United have an amazing chance to get back on track. The same team that the Red Devils held to a goalless draw, thrashed their opponents 5-1 to knock them out of the Carabao Cup.

While Moyes believes it won’t play a part, this will surely help boost the morale at Old Trafford. The two teams will face off on Saturday.

Ten Hag is in desperate need of a win, and the fans are also desperately hoping that he can get one on the board.
