Everton boss Moyes surprised seeing Rooney in Man Utd midfield

Everton boss David Moyes was surprised seeing Wayne Rooney deployed in midfield by Manchester United yesterday.

Moyes was surprised to see United set up like that, but pleased with the number of chances the Blues restricted them to.

"They came here last year and played with three in midfield and one up and people coming in off the sides.

"I think the surprise was Wayne playing in midfield as one of the three midfield players with Park and Welbeck out wide.

"It caused us problems in the first half when we struggled to get to them and it was around that period they got the goal.

"But apart from that we did a good job, we started brightly and finished the first half brightly and in the second half we kept going but we were maybe a bit short."
