Liverpool 1-0 United, 1 September(01 of11)
Open Image ModalUnited losing at Anfield has become commonplace in the last six years, but it was the manner in which Moyes analysed his side's toothless performance that was worrying."I could see why we were champions today," Moyes remarked. It set the trend for some surreal post-mortems. (credit:Getty Images)
City 4-1 United, 22 September(02 of11)
Open Image ModalThe gulf in class between the two Manchester clubs, just four months after United finished 11 points ahead of City, was astonishing. City had spent their summer signing players, whereas United spent it signing commercial partners. This defeat confirmed United would not even challenge for the title, let alone retain it.

Open Image ModalWest Brom registered their first Old Trafford win since 1978 as Moyes broke the first of numerous embarrassing records while in charge at Old Trafford. (credit:Getty Images)
United 1-1 Southampton, 19 October(04 of11)
Open Image ModalAdam Lallana's late equaliser was utterly avoidable on a day Moyes' negativity infected Old Trafford.

Cardiff 2-2 United(05 of11)
Open Image ModalHaving beaten league leaders Arsenal to move within five points of the summit, United then drew against Cardiff's workhorses to dash any lingering chance of a title challenge. Again, Moyes chose to protect, rather than extend, a lead and Kim Bo-Kyung nodded in a 90th-minute equaliser. (credit:Getty Images)
United 0-1 Newcastle, 7 December(06 of11)
Open Image ModalUnited suffered successive defeats at Old Trafford for the first time since 2001 as Newcastle won at the ground for the first time in 41 years. This would have been the death knell for Moyes at most other clubs. (credit:Getty Images)
United 1-2 Sunderland (penalties), January 22(07 of11)
Open Image ModalWhat was worse? The fact United lost a Capital One Cup semi-final to a team second from bottom in the league or that they attempted to reach Wembley via an away goal (after extra-time) which was scored when they were 1-0 down in the first leg? (credit:Getty Images)
United 2-2, 9 February(08 of11)
Open Image ModalUnited's chances of Champions League qualification effectively ended when Darren Bent snatched a last-gasp draw for Fulham on a day United delivered 81 crosses into the Fulham area. Another record broken... (credit:Getty Images)
Olympiakos 2-0 United, 25 February(09 of11)
Open Image ModalUnited's worst away performance in Europe for eight years and maybe the nadir of the Moyes era, that they recovered in the second leg cannot mask a night which reflected horrendously on both the players and the coach. The comeback three weeks later was merely a stay of execution ahead of the inevitable last eight elimination at the hands of one of Europe's elite. (credit:Getty Images)
United 0-3 Liverpool, 16 March(10 of11)
Open Image ModalThe performance which enraged supporters the most, arguably, came during United's pathetic defeat to Liverpool. Moyes could not even motivate the team to halt Liverpool's title challenge and that alone is unforgivable. (credit:Getty Images)
Everton 2-0 United, 20 April(11 of11)
Open Image ModalEverton hammered home the final nail into Moyes' coffin with an alarmingly comfortable win over a United side that managed just two shots on target. "I couldn't fault how we played," Moyes deludedly said. Everyone else could. (credit:Getty Images)
