Manchester United manager David Moyes has thanked the club’s fans for their loyalty in what he admits has been a “difficult” first season.<\/p>\n

Moyes succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson, who ended his 26 years as United boss by winning a 13th league title, on 1 July.<\/p>\n

However, United lie seventh after only 13 wins from 27 Premier League games.<\/p>\n

In a magazine sent to United season ticket holders, Moyes wrote: “The difficult season we have experienced was not something that I envisaged.”<\/p>\n

Moyes, 50, replaced fellow Glaswegian Ferguson, who won 38 trophies during his reign at Old Trafford, which also included two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and four League Cups.<\/p>\n

United lost only five league games in their title-winning season of 2012-13, but have already lost eight times in the current campaign, including home defeats by West Brom, Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham.<\/p>\n

They were also beaten 2-1 at home by Swansea in the FA Cup third round and are trailing 2-0 after the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie with Olympiakos.<\/p>\n

“You are accustomed to seeing a successful Manchester United and the backing you have given the players and me throughout the season has been incredible,” Moyes continued in his letter.<\/p>\n

“Away from home the travelling fans have remained the best in the country, while at Old Trafford your unwavering faith has been noticeable and hugely welcomed.<\/p>\n

“Supporting your team when they are winning is easy, but much harder when things are not going as well, and the loyalty you have shown us has been magnificent.<\/p>\n

“I have absolutely no doubt we will see great winning sides here again.”<\/p>\n

Moyes, who began his managerial career at Preston before spending 11 years with Everton, added: “Everything we have been through will make us a better, stronger team and club in the future.”<\/p>\n
