Moyes sure of United winning Premier League MANCHESTER (AFP) – Manchester United manager David Moyes maintains that his side can
still win the Premier League despite slipping 12 points behind leaders Arsenal. The Old
Trafford side suffered a fourth defeat of the season when they were stunned 1-0 at home
by his former club Everton on Wednesday. The champions are now ninth in the table and
are as close to the relegation zone as they are to the summit. -
United only lost five league games in the whole of last season, but even though Moyes accepts it will be a struggle, he insists his team should not be ruled out. “We have got a
long way to go,” he said. “We will need to play some great football and win an awful lot
of games in the run-in if we are going to be in there and around it at the end of the
season.”Asked if he believed United were capable of that, he replied: “Yes. I’ve got
nothing to suggest anything else. "The United manager admits he does not know when
last season’s top scorer Robin van Persie will return from a groin problem. Striker Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, will be suspended for Saturday’s home match against Newcastle
United after picking up five yellow cards. Netherlands international Van Persie has not
played since the 1-0 win over Arsenal on November 10.
