Moyes upbeat despite rocky start to season

Despite defeat by Liverpool and an injury to Wayne Rooney, Manchester United manager David Moyes says he has been pleased by his team's performances in his first three league games.

The new United manager, faced with the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of Alex Ferguson, saw United lose 1-0 at Liverpool thanks to an early goal from Daniel Sturridge at Anfield on Sunday.

It left United with four points from their opening three games, following a 4-1 victory at Swansea City on the opening day and a stale goalless draw at home to Chelsea last week.
