Sir Alex and Bobby's comments say it all really that Moyes was top choice and who they wanted to be the next Manager, so we as fans will need to give David Moyes time and patience, plus to be fully behind him too!

David Moyes: “It’s a great honour to be asked to be the next Manager of Manchester United. I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the Football Club.

“I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn’t something that comes around very often and I’m really looking forward to taking up the post next season.

“I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and Board of Directors and a great set of players. Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table.

“Everton’s fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players. Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life.”

David will be introduced to the world as the Manager of Manchester United in due course.

6 year deal. Wow they are confident in him. Well, let's go Moyes then.

Good to see a majority of United fans behind him, i think he will do well.. not sure how he'll get on in the Champions League.

Actually think if we win something it will be the CL. Don't even know why :joker:

Good luck and all the best to David Moyes, what an opportunity he has and simply could not turn down:).

Indeed, the Summer will be even more crazy.

Fellaini and a flair midfielder, please.

Thanks Moyes x

Lulz, David Moyes vs Jose Mourinho. Saw someone describe it earlier, well Mancini in there also, 'like taking candy from a baby'.

Hopefully David brings Gibson back and we can have a star studded midfield of

Valencia Gibson Giggs Young

Like I have said many times Fergie's time has been long up(2 years to be precise) and I am delighted to have Moyes who has always been my first choice

Thanks for the service Fergie the second greatest manager ever however your last 2 year and a bit years have tainted your legacy slightly

Also **** that phat **** Rooney I have said many times we were to soft on him and he is taking the piss once again

Carrick: Moyes' fine reputation

Quote:

Michael Carrick says he has only heard good things about David Moyes from fellow professionals who have worked under the Scot.

The United midfielder is looking forward to working with the current Everton boss from July onwards and told MUTV he is used to dealing with managerial changes following his time at West Ham and Tottenham.

"I think he [Moyes] has obviously done a terrific job at Everton," Carrick stated on the official club TV channel. "He's been there for a long time now with great success for the resources that he's had and he's well respected with everyone I spoke to.

"All the players who have played for him all enjoy playing with him and say good things about him, obviously enough for him to get the chance to be the manager of this great club. It is an opportunity for him and an opportunity for everyone else to maybe do things slightly differently but keep the success rolling on."

Clearly the first change in manager for more than 26 years at Old Trafford is bound to attract plenty of attention in the media but the England international expects the new man to maintain the high standards demanded by Sir Alex.

"It's obviously a big change because this club's been run for so long under the same person," added Carrick. "I've worked under a few different managers in my past in my career, so I'm sort of used to a little bit of change, but yes, I'm really looking forward to it, to meeting him and getting good training pre-season and hopefully a good future.

"I think he's honest and he's fair to his players as far as I'm aware and I'm sure that's the case. He'll set high standards just as we expect high standards of ourselves and I'm looking forward to working with him."

Rio: Moyes offers continuity

Quote:

Rio Ferdinand says he is “delighted” with the appointment of David Moyes as Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor at Manchester United and believes the new man offers continuity of managerial style and an acknowledgement of the club’s well-established history and traditions.

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...n=0,34,787,327

Moyes will officially take up his new post on 1 July on a six-year contract, and he arrives at Old Trafford with the full blessing and backing of Sir Alex, as well as the players.

“We are all delighted,” Ferdinand told MUTV. “I think it was important that the club made a decision quickly and it all got sorted out. I think the club have acted impeccably in that sense. The manager, I’m sure, thought long and hard about his own decision, he made it and then the club acted swiftly and it’s great to see the new manager coming in."

Picking the right man to replace Sir Alex after 26 trophy-laden years at the helm at Old Trafford was always going to be an important decision, but Ferdinand feels that Moyes’ appointment provides continuity.

“Another reason I think it’s a good appointment is that David Moyes will be very, very open and sympathetic to the traditions of the club and he’ll try to continue that and not come in and make changes in terms of the whole characteristics of the club.

“That’s important for a club of this size and important from what’s gone on before. The manager that we’ve got now has implemented a fantastic system, a working system, and we’ve been successful this year and hopefully we can continue that and this guy I’m sure is the right man to do that and take us forward.

“He’s a very honest man it seems, and from what you hear from other players that you speak to and he’s done a fantastic job at his previous club, Everton. They’ve always been a solid team always hard to play against and what he’s always demanded from his players, from what we see, is a great work ethic and I think there are a lot of similarities with the manager that we’ve got at the moment. That’s a big thing that he continues that tradition.”

Opinion: Moyes is the right man

I think bringing in David Moyes is a fantastic move, I really do. He is a manager who is going to bring stability to the club. He is very much in the mould of Sir Alex, a Scotsman with a great worth ethic and he’ll demand that the players work hard to be successful.

He has done a fantastic job at Everton with limited resources. A lot of pundits have said that he hasn’t won anything, but he hasn’t had the resources to win anything. Hopefully at Manchester United he has the resources and he will be challenging. He has bigger resources now and it’s a challenge for him but he knows that. Whoever got the job after Sir Alex was never going to find it easy, but he has signed a six-year contract which gives him time.

Everybody might need to show a bit of patience. There’s no doubt that he might have a few bad games as a new manager, but you just need to show patience and Manchester United are very good at that. He had 11 years at Everton and did an unbelievably good job there.

I know all about Sir Alex’s desire and his work ethic and I think David Moyes will be a very similar manager for Manchester United. You see him on the touchline and he is a tough old Scot, very much like Sir Alex. He was recommended by Sir Alex and Sir Bobby Charlton and there’s no higher accolade. He tried to get him in 1998 as assistant manager after he did a fantastic job at Preston. Then he went to Everton and had 11 great years there. He will be sorely missed there, which shows his influence.

He will bring stability to the club at an important time for the club with Sir Alex departing and David Gill going as well. So it’s important that we have stability. We have a fantastic first-team squad and I am sure David Moyes will add to that in the summer.

Sir Alex was here for 26 years and you look at the trophies he won and the way his teams played… young supporters know no different. I wouldn’t say the David will change too much, too soon. I think he’ll look at it and add his own style and personality to the team. But I think what the club is looking at is for David to come in and continue the work Sir Alex has done.

We all look forward to him coming to Old Trafford. He starts on 1 July and he has got two games with Everton to finish off the season, then he can concentrate on things here, bringing his own players and stamping his authority. It’s a challenge, but as a player you want to play for the best club in the world, and as a manager you will feel exactly the same. It’s an opportunity that doesn’t come along very often and he will be really looking forward to it.

Good summary. I agree that stability is very important!!

No chance of Bale. Even more so now Fergie has gone. Just like Ronaldo.

SAF will still be around in some capacity as a Director/Ambassador and I am sure that David Moyes will go to him for some advice.

I would be buzzing if Cristiano did return, the thought of him possibly going to Chelsea ugh.

Never going to come back to play under David Moyes.

Man Utd's Chief Scout Martin Ferguson will retire at the end of the season. We thank you Martin for all these years!

So United will be having a new scout too now SAF's brother is retiring. I wish Martin a happy retirement:).

He was then signed by Manchester United on the recommendation of Sir Alex, and has since scouted players such as Diego Forlán,[3] Anderson,[4] Fabio Quagliarella,[5] Alessandro Nesta[6] and Ruud van Nistelrooy.[7]
