Manchester United Thread

[thered]

Confirmed on BBC now.

I think he will do a good job in near impossible circumstances. Cant be easy replacing the greatest manger that Britain has produced! Inheriting a squad that many say is a "poor" by Man Utd standards but good enough to win the league at a canter.

Enjoy your retirement Sir Alex - legend.

Where?????????

To steal a line from my favorite Scifi TV series(Babylon 5)....... "And so it begins" ..... seems like the expected clear out is starting, according to Sky News Wayne Rooney has asked to leave Manchester United this summer but also according to Sky News Manchester United have said that Wayne Rooney is not for sale.

Here we go again.

tbh change of manager may do rooney good he's gone stale

daft rumours going about already rooney out chicharito out and ronaldo back

i think rooney is going because moyes is coming in, remember moyes sued rooneys publist over comments made while both at everton and the reasons rooney was sold ect, moyes won the case ect and rooney has never seen eye to eye with moyes since. this is why rooney is off to bayern munich with possibly lewi coming this way.

Id be happy at that, i think rooney needs the boot he has not lived up to his reputation for years, while he is still worth a few ? its the right time to go

Players come to UTD and win cups which they haven't managed to achieve at their old clubs, why not bring a manager in to do the same. 20

This means Fellaini will be playing for the red devils next season.

Nothing confirmed yet, what happened to the announcement at lunch time today??

Sky already reporting Moyes in and Rooney wants out

No sources or quotes

[vorlon2257]

Well having just caught up on this from this morning, it is confirmed that he (Moyes) is leaving Everton at the end of the season and has expressed a desire to manage Manchester United, it all but seems like he will be next manager of MUFC. Regarding Rooney it would seem he did ask to leave in the summer but the UTD board turned that down.

Still no official report from OT

Seems strange Everton have announced his desire to join Manchester United first

I view it as speculation until its signed and sealed

[thered]

Phil Neville is to be his number 2

[elplicko]

Manchester United Board unanimously approves the recommendation of Sir Alex Ferguson Moyes to take the helm on 1 July Committed to long-term in 6 year deal, congratulations to david moyes

[thered]

Six years is a big contract, i wish him the best of luck and hopefully he can win some silverware in his first season. It will certainly take the pressure off, any trophyless year will amount a mass of pressure on him. A good start will eliminate that and gain the respect of the players

Probably the right choice long term, and you never know we may even improve as good as fergie was he did drop the odd tactical bomb. Moyes maybe a little better in that department.

Time will tell and he should be given reasonable time to make his mark, i dont suppose it will be too easy many people at OT have only known Fergie, he's been there since i was 10.

But one thing is for sure he does not need to do much, the right 2 or 3 players and we should be challenging on all fronts. If we start to drop away then he is not up to the job

I'm hearing Rooney is off to CFC, thanks Moyes great start
