Moyes has his work cut out

Fergie's successor feeling the heat after slow start

Alex Ferguson told successor David Moyes that winning a trophy in his first season as Manchester United manager would be "fantastic" after a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton dented its Premier League title hopes.

Saturday's result at Old Trafford left reigning champion United a lowly eighth in the standings, five points back of the Champions League places and only four above the relegation zone.
