Manchester United manager David Moyes has said that his club is finally starting to build some momentum after a poor start to the season, and that he aims to keep the momentum going.

According to Sport24, three Premier League defeats in their opening nine fixtures have left United in unfamiliar territory down in eighth place in the table, eight points behind leaders Arsenal.

However, with central defenders Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic both coming through this week's emphatic League Cup win over Norwich City unscathed after injuries, Moyes was upbeat in his news conference, the report said.

He said that the team had started to string together one or two half-decent results and hopefully that will build a bit of momentum.

 

He added that the side had been a bit up and down, winning one, then, losing one and so hopefully they will try and get into a bit more consistency.

United scrambled to a 3-2 home victory over Stoke City last weekend, having twice trailed, and will be anxious to pick up three points at Fulham before facing leaders Arsenal at home in their next league fixture, the report added.
