United’s home form goes from bad to worse
Defeat against Swansea in the third round of the FA Cup, heaped more pressure on Moyes, who must hate playing at Old Trafford. His side have looked a shadow of themselves at home and this was their fourth home loss in their last six games, a record that you would have hardly believed was possible, given their imperious home form. The problem for United has been the fact that they have been unable to close out games and as a result, the opposition have managed to nick it at the end in close encounters. Swansea won at home for the first time in their history and followed in the footsteps of West Brom, Everton and Newcastle who all had long barren runs end in the space of the last month and a half.
