On the outside David Moyes seems calm despite Manchester Uniteds worst start to a season since 1989.

The shadow of Alex Ferguson looms large as the former Everton manager prepares for a tough Champions League assignment in Donetsk as they take on Shaktar.

The Ukrainian side  helped eliminate United's Premier League rivals Chelsea FC in last season's group stage.

Mircea Lucescu's men beat the then holders 2-1 at home through goals from Alex Teixeira and Fernandinho and only lost the return fixture 3-2 after conceding in added time.

Shakhtar have won all three previous UEFA Champions League fixtures against English visitors to Donetsk, with earlier successes against Arsenal FC in the 2000/01 first group stage (3-0) and 2010/11 group stage (2-1). Overall their home record against Premier League sides is W4 D1 L0.

United have lost 3 out of their 6 Premier league games and David Moyes was asked several questions in the press conference including if fans have to reevaluate their expectations until the Scot can reshape the squad.
