Alex Ferguson after announcing
his plans to retire from his post at old Trafford, he said: "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.
''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 said: “It’s a great honour to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United.
