David Moyes was handed a six-year contract to become manager of Manchester United on Thursday, showing the deep belief the club has in naming the Scot as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor. Moyes, who accepted replacing British football's most successful manager presents a sizeable challenge, was preferred over José Mourinho due to the longevity of his 11-year tenure at Everton during which he rebuilt the club.
Moyes was the favoured candidate of Ferguson, with his recommendation being "unanimously" approved by the United board, an indication of how the outgoing manager will continue to be a strong influence on the direction of the club.
