Ch-ch-changes: David Moyes has altered his line-up more than any other manager this season

Meet the new Tinkerman.

Tony Cuddihy

Manchester United manager David Moyes is the Premier League’s biggest tinkerman, having made 83 changes to his line-up so far this season.

Moyes is yet to field an unchanged side so far this season and has made 11 more changes than Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini, second on the list.

Moreover, United have used 13 different partnerships in the centre of midfield, as well as seven different partnerships in the centre of defence.

This has likely contributed to United’s startling lack of consistency this season. The champions are currently languishing in 7th in the table, a full 15 points behind leaders Arsenal.
