Very true
Dare I say it, but I actually felt United were at times (whisper it) unlucky in the Moyes season

Bear in mind they were decent in europe (bar the Olympiakos first leg fiasco) and the league was stronger that year than now (liverpool randomly becoming a juggernaut, City rediscovering 2012 form, Chelsea making strides under Mourinho)
Last season they had a random run of form in March but were awful apart from that. Van Gaal pretty much got all the luck Moyes didn't- that 9 points in November stands out against Arsenal, Liverpool and Southampton. They were probably a fit Liverpool goalscorer away from missing out on top 4 again. And no European distractions
This season has been awful and they can even consider themselves lucky they are somehow as high as 6th. Worryingly they really look like they are going nowhere fast
When comparing this season to 2014 it's important to remember the ridiculous amount LvG has spent.
Maybe I'm being a little biased though in favour of Moyes, he was a genuine likeable chap while LvG is a complete spoofer
