Manchester United have confirmed that David Moyes will
replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford and will take over as manager at the
end of the current season.
Moyes has agreed a six-year deal at the club, which will start on June 1, and will take his place at the Old Trafford helm with the blessing of Sir Alex.

"When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the
right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of
great integrity with a strong work ethic," Sir Alex Ferguson told the
club's official website.
"I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of Assistant Manager here. He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club."

Moyes is now set to leave Everton after over a decade in
charge, and the 50-year-old has thanked the club for their support and guidance
during his tenure.
"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."
United chief executive, David Gill, added his own congratulations and backed Moyes to become a success at Old Trafford.

As Moyes steps into the shoes of Sir Alex Ferguson, it will
be interesting to see how he will cope with the enormous task ahead of him as
well as how Everton will adapt to the coach change after a decade. This season
may have not fully ended, but I can wait for next season
