Moyes Happy With Run-out

David Moyes was satisfied with Manchester United’s final Tour 2013 run-out but bemoaned the Reds’ wastefulness in front of goal following the 1-1 draw against AIK Fotboll in Stockholm.

United needed to come from behind to salvage the result after Robin Quaison gave the home side the lead on 49 minutes courtesy of a stunning strike from 20 yards.

Young Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez, on as a first-half substitute for the injured Nani, netted the leveller on 68 minutes but the Reds then missed a handful of chances to win the game and end Tour 2013 on a high.

“It was a tough game for us,” David Moyes told MUTV. “They played a bit better in the first half although I was a bit disappointed that we gave them a few opportunities.

“But in the first 15 minutes we must have got to the byline three or four times and I was hoping that one of our crosses was going to find one of our players. It didn’t do so.

“We got back into it in the second half after going a goal behind. We limited their opportunities in the second half and we had a few of our own. I think we should have won the game in the second half.”

Despite United’s inability to find the net a second time, Moyes was pleased with the test AIK provided the Reds at this crucial point of pre-season preparations.

“It was a tough enough workout for us and they played some good stuff. If we had taken our chances then we would have won the game.

“We're almost there as far as pre-season goes. I think we'd like to have a bit more continuity than what we've had – we've had one or two players dropping in and out because of injury – but the players have been great and I look forward to the season starting.”
