    Manager David Moyes says he does not know which Manchester United team is going to turn up after a string of inconsistent displays. The Red Devils followed up their 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool last Sunday with a victory by the same score over Olympiakos in the Champions League.

    "We have shown some really top performances and some really low performances," adds Moyes ahead of Saturday's match at West Ham. "It is going to take time. We are not going to be able to do everything immediately.

    "Because of the period we are in, that is happening a little bit; a very good one and maybe a bad one at times. My job over the coming years is to make sure we get rid of that."
