May 2013 Results
The ending to the season, the last three games. United may have already won the league, but with the cup finals to play, how would Moyes play the games? A strong side taking the points? A weaker side maybe only picking up one thing. He knew won thing though, United were Champions!

Resting a lot of big names for the upcoming finals meant even Nick Powell got a game up front. As a result, a point from this is great, as West Brom have been on pretty good form lately. Phil Jones played well to get the Man of the Match award too!

It was going to be a tough game with a weak side, and only conceding the one wasn't bad. Unfortunately, our very long unbeaten run has ended, but it hasn't dampened spirits too much. However, I felt we were unlucky to not score.
