Moyes is United's Man: Champions to name Everton's David as Alex Ferguson successor within 24hrs...


David Moyes will be named Manchester United's new manager on Thursday, after being handpicked by Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Everton boss has been given a five-year contract to succeed Ferguson and will include former United player Phil Neville on his coaching staff.
 Fergie has decided to step down after 26-and-a-half years in charge at Old Trafford and personally selected Moyes - a choice that's backed by the entire United board.
Moyes will take charge of Everton's final two games of the season before taking over from fellow Scot Ferguson, after 11 years at Goodison Park.And Everton chairman Bill Kenwright reportedly said late on Wednesday that a deal is not done for Moyes.
Ferguson, who won 38 trophies during his United reign, will stand down after their final game of the season at West Brom on May 19 - his 1,500th in charge.
The United boss, 71, was said to be choked up and close to tears as he broke the news of his retirement to his players, coaching staff and general employees in separate groups at United's training ground.
He started by telling his coaches: "It's over. It's time."
