Rene Meulensteen: "Although I've an ongoing contract, but it was agreed that we will review about my job when Sir Alex stops."

"That is now the case. My future at United as of now is unclear. In the coming weeks there will be more clarity."

Obviously David Moyes will bring some staff of his own to United, but I hope that Rene remains at the club.

Roy Keane: "I was obviously very lucky to have played under him, and privileged that he (SAF) brought me to the club"

Thank you Roy for paying tribute to SAF:). I actually did not think he would after they fell out!

Scholes set to retire

Quote:

Paul Scholes will end his playing career at the end of this season.

http://www.manutd.com/~/media/EC7DFD...gn=0,1,591,220

Scholes, 38, previously announced his retirement at the end of the 2010/11 season, but made a shock return to the team on 8 January 2012 when he came on as a substitute in the FA Cup third round victory at Manchester City.

The midfielder was part of the new wave of talent that came through to the first-team during the mid-1990s, and has gone on to enjoy a long and successful career, making an incredible 716 appearances for Manchester United.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: “Paul is a truly unbelievable player. He has always been fully committed to this club and it has been a real privilege to work with him for so many years. Paul will play at Old Trafford on Sunday against Swansea and will collect an unbelievable but well-deserved 11th Premier League medal."

Paul Scholes said: “Yes, I am finally hanging up my boots for good! Playing football is all I have ever wanted to do, and so to have had such a long and successful career at Manchester United, under the greatest Manager of all time, has been an honour. The team has the right balance and will continue to thrive under the leadership of David Moyes.”

Confirmed by United. Thanks for everything Scholesy and I wish you a happy retirement, you legend and one of the best players I have ever seen:worship:.

Do not worry. Back in January 2014. :hugesmile:

Seriously though, indeed, what a player. Shame we didn't see more of him this season, due to injury.

My favourite Paul Scholes goals: The volleys against Aston Villa and Barcelona.

That day has come. Saying goodbye to SAF and Paul Scholes in a few hours:(, it will be emotional and I have already shed some tears.

Looking forward to us lifting up the trophy and guard of honour for Sir Alex Ferguson!

Giggs: A day for celebration

Quote:

Before this week’s momentous news, Ryan Giggs spoke to United Review about the prospect of finally lifting the Barclays Premier League trophy after the game against Swansea on Sunday afternoon.

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...=27,69,634,981

This is a 13th title for the Welshman but he says receiving the silverware once more in front of a full house at Old Trafford will be as satisfying as ever.

Of course, the day takes on greater significance as it's a 723rd and final home game for Sir Alex Ferguson, whose farewell address to the fans is sure to be poignant.

But it will also be an occasion to celebrate – both the team’s 20th league championship success and the manager’s glorious 26-year reign.

"To reach 20 is a brilliant achievement," Giggs told the Reds’ matchday programme. "Obviously we won it a couple of weeks ago and that was great to have won it early.

"It’s not often that you have to wait this long to actually get your hands on the trophy, so we’re all really looking forward to it. It’s going to be a great occasion.

"Overall the day is great for the fans, for the staff and for the players and their families – you’ll see all the lads’ kids on the pitch celebrating.

"Sunday is about everyone who has shared in the journey – it should be a celebratory occasion."

Giggs knows the challenge now is for United to retain the title next term under new manager David Moyes.

"This summer we’ll go on holiday knowing we’re successful and all the hard work was worth it," he added.

"But we’ll come back fighting next season to try to win it again."

Manchester United legend Roy Keane spoke to presenter Adrian Chiles about his up-and-down relationship with "great" ex-boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

"It's always sad to see a great manager leave the game, but I think he's made the right choice," Keane said, after admitting that he wasn't surprised to hear the news of Fergie's exit.

"I was obviously very lucky to have played under him, and privileged that he brought me to the club… he generally got it right – he might have made one or two mistakes, particularly I think with me towards the end, but it takes nothing away from the fact, as I said, it was a privilege to play for him."

Keane also dismissed Fergie's infamous 'hairdryer treatment' as more of a media gimmick than a reality that he lived in fear of. "This hairdryer business, it never concerned me!"

I know they fell out, but a nice tribute by Roy Keane.

David Moyes: Man Utd's new boss backed by Sir Bobby Charlton

Quote:

Sir Bobby Charlton says incoming Manchester United manager David Moyes will overcome the "awe" of working at the club and prove a big success.

Everton boss Moyes will take over on 1 July from Sir Alex Ferguson, who announced his retirement on Wednesday.

"He's maybe been a little bit in awe of everything that happens here - you can't help it when the club has become so big," United legend Charlton said.

"The mere fact he thinks he can improve it is just fantastic."

Moyes, 50, is set to replace the most decorated manager in British football history, despite not having won a major trophy in his 11-year stay at Everton.

But Charlton, who played under former United manager Sir Matt Busby and captained the team to European Cup glory in 1968, endorsed Ferguson's belief that Moyes is the right successor.

And he also insisted Ferguson would not overshadow Moyes, despite becoming a club director and ambassador.

The arrangement is similar to the one instituted when Busby retired in 1969 and stayed on as general manager, with new boss Wilf McGuinness then replaced a little over a year later.

Charlton said: "Alex will help David Moyes. He won't intrude, but he will help him. Like Alex, Moyes has a work ethic and maybe there's something the Scots know that we don't.

"He's going to be quite happy. He's a well-meaning lad. He's very, very professional and I think he will be a big success at our club."

Midfielder Michael Carrick also said he was "very excited" to be working with former Preston boss Moyes.

He told the BBC's Sportsweek: "I'm very much looking forward to moving onto a new chapter with the club and personally in my career working under David.

"I think he has done an unbelievable job at Everton over a long period of time to keep them up there challenging for Europe.

"He hasn't had the money of the top four or five clubs to spend but he has always put a team out there that is challenging and I've only heard good things about him from players that have played under him.

"I'm sure he is going to come here and have a successful time.

"He's not going to have to change a great deal overnight because things have gone so well of late, but he's his own man and he's going to do his own things and we are all fully behind him as players."

Carrick, who was a key figure in Manchester United's run to this season's Premier League title, said he and his team-mates were left speechless when Ferguson, 71, revealed his decision to the players.

"The initial thoughts were we were really disappointed and quite gutted when the manager told us as a team. It was quite sad in the dressing room - that was the initial shock to it but, as time passes, you deal with it and move on.

"He's arguably the best manager of all time so for him to be sitting in the same changing room telling us that it's his time to retire and giving us the reason, it was quite an emotional time and we were well aware of the importance of it.

"It was silent. What can you say after that? Everyone was digesting the news. It was well documented for a day or two in the media that was there was something coming, we weren't quite sure what. So when the boss pulled us together and told us, that was it.

"It was hard to take but we fully understand and appreciate everything he has done, not just for this football club but everything he has done for the world of football in the last 30-35 years."
