David Moyes Nominated For Premier League Manager Of The Month - Really?

Manchester United boss David Moyes is among the nominees for the Barclays Premier League manager of the month award for December.

United have lost their past three games in all competitions, but won four, drew once and lost twice in their seven league games last month.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, who went unbeaten in December, is also nominated.

Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho and Everton’s Roberto Martinez also feature.

Moyes started December with a 2-2 draw against Tottenham before subsequent 1-0 home defeats by Everton and Newcastle.

A run of four wins, against Aston Villa, West Ham, Hull and Norwich, followed before United lost 2-1 to Tottenham on New Year’s Day.

Swansea then knocked Moyes’s side out of the FA Cup on Sunday before Sunderland beat them 2-1 in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final.
