Players Have 'Stopped Trying' And Discord Over Rooney Treatment

When David Moyes took charge at Manchester United, Rene Meulensteen � then the first-team coach � told him he had moved from a yacht to the bridge of a cruise liner. Now that ship appears to be hurtling towards the rocks with the former Everton manager struggling to steer it clear of danger. A side who won last season�s title at something of a stroll are suddenly unable to keep pace with their rivals and much of the blame is being laid at the door of Moyes. The Chosen One has become the chastened one since leaving the relative comfort of Goodison Park to replace the seemingly irreplaceable Sir Alex Ferguson.
