Manchester United hoped the hiring of David Moyes would help the club continue its tremendous legacy. Saying goodbye to the legendary Alex Ferguson in July - a man who served as Red Devils coach for over 25 years - the Man U franchise was tabbed with the task of finding a man capable of maintaining a strong club while reestablishing dominance in the Premier League and in the UEFA Champions League. With the Barclays Premier League season underway, Moyes and company prepare for the lengthy UEFA Champions League campaign as they hope to put together a strong run in 2013, something they failed to do a season ago.
The Red Devils will begin their UEFA slate against Bayer Leverkusen, a club that has won 4 of its first 5 German Bundesliga games in 2013. Earning a victory certainly won't come easy for Man U since the competition level in the Bundesliga continues to rise, ultimately helping each member to compete outside the league. United has failed to reach the quarter finals in back-to-back seasons and the way they play in the upcoming opener could be a great look into what fans can expect moving forward. A four-time finalist in the Champions League, Manchester United players know the opening match won't be easy but they're completely aware that a solid start could propel them into the remaining slate with a positive outlook.
