Here is what Ferguson said about Moyes "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." 

Here is what some Manchester united players had to sir about this;

It's great to see the new manager coming in, we've never had a problem with him here at United, he's a very honest man from the players you speak to and he's done a fantastic job at his previous club Everton

He's done a terrific job at Everton. He's been there a long time and has had great success with the resources he's had. He's honest and fair to his players as far as I'm aware. He sets high standards just as he expects high standards of ourselves
Michael Carrick


David Moyes is a very good choice. He's very similar to Ferguson as a manager. He's shown at Everton what he can do with limited resources and he will look to lead the club in the same way
