He ticks every box except for two big ones, he hasn't won anything and lacks European experience.
It's a good thing Sir Alex will be 'on tap' upstairs. Moyes is strong enough to fully utilise that resource without being threatened or undermined by it, in my opinion. That's what makes him the right choice.
Oh and lets not kid ourselves, his Everton side (put together on a shoestring) would give most top European teams a very good game as United have found out during our recent clashes. |

It was a day that every united fan knew would come but they still never wanted to believe fergie would retire.
David moyes is the favourite and I think it's not a bad move. Only fergie and wenger have managed their respected clubs for a longer period.
He has taken Everton from a relegation battling team to European contenders and done so by breaking even with buying and selling of players.
I think the man deserves a lot of respect for the job he has done with the financial limits within Everton.
I for one would be happy to see him at united. |

While I'll agree that Moyes has done a pretty reasonable job at EFC, he doesn't tick every box for United as you proclaim.
In addition to what you have stated, I'd add these areas of doubt over Moyes:
1) While his track record of buying players normally from lower league clubs has been pretty good, albeit with some that failed too, Tim Cahill oft being cited as an example of a great buy, but also cleverly getting more out of ex Man U players like Phil Neville, he has yet to be tested with the really big names in football and thier egos and also when having a transfer kitty that for one player alone can be around £30 million, it'll be interesting as to how good he is in the transfer market at that type of level and which players he picks.
2) Although this will be true of any manager taking over at OT, it will be interesting to see how Moyes copes with the pressures of the job. He may well adapt to it fairly easily and look and act comfortably in the role, and he may yet be a round peg in a square hole, time will tell on that.
3) Moyes will have a fair bit of rebuilding to do at OT in the not too distant future. Rooney already wants out, Giggs & Scholes are at the end of thier careers and Ferdinand and Vidic aren't too far behind. While United clearly had a strategy for replacement under Fergie, how Moyes embraces this will possibly disrupt United's success levels for the future. |

Rooney will not leave now. He will get first team football in his best position under moyes. I think moyes is good choice. Nobody can do a better job then ferguson. Especially with the likes of city and chelski who are going to spend big this summer. Moyes has an impossible job in many ways but he is consistent and a good man manager so united will still be strong. Im surprised nobody has mentioned the current bayern coach as a replacement. He is on course for a treble with bayern this year. Has someone else snapped up his services for next year? |

This doesn't happen just for Man U on here....you can see people trying to wind each other up over football all the time, although people should really be careful as they may come unstuck  |

There's an interesting piece in today's Daily Express about Fergie and Moyes.
Apparently they are both from Govan and both played for the same youth football team in Glasgow. Also they have been close pals for many years, and Fergie was asked to recommend his replacement. He nominated Moyes - 2 weeks ago.
Good luck to Moyes, I think he will do a good job at MU as Fergie is going on to be a Board member. No doubt he will mentor Moyes from that position. |

Are any of the points you've raised any different to what Sir Alex, Wenger or Mourinio faced on their first big moves? |
