Five talking points from Manchester United's 2-0 win at Stoke in the Capital One Cup quarterfinals

United look like they are ready to mount a comeback again

Just when it looked like United were slowly sorting themselves out in the League, back-to-back home defeats against Everton and Newcastle hardly helped matters. But the last week has certainly been favorable for Moyes, has it has seen his side not only get through to the knockout stage of the Champions League as winners, but also get a favorable draw and victory over Stoke meant that they are two wins away from a piece of silverware.

What is all the more reassuring for Moyes is that, his side have won the last three games in three different competitions, scoring 6 goals and conceding none. That is certainly a welcome sign for Moyes as injuries to his two leading strikers means that the attack isn’t at full strength as of now. But, with a favorable set of fixtures going into the New Year, if United can claim maximum points from all of them, they might still be in with a shout for the title.
