Ron Atkinson mentioned Allardyce

Great shout. He is out of contract. Good enough to manage Inter Milan in their pomp, sure he'd do a job at Utd too

David Moyes is set to be appointed the new manager of Manchester United by the end of the week, Goal.com understands.

The Everton boss is expected to be announced, possibly even within the next 24 hours, as the successor to Sir Alex Ferguson, who revealed on Wednesday morning that he is stepping down at the end of the season.

Sources have told Goal.com that the United players learned at the club’s Carrington training ground today that Moyes is the man who has been lined up to take over from Sir Alex.

Everton have said that they have not been approached by the new Premier League champions but it is understood that Moyes has agreed a deal to take over at Old Trafford.

The 50-year-old Scot will have to resign from his post at Goodison Park to move to United but he is out of contract at the end of the season and the process is set to be a swift and amicable one.

Moyes is a long-time friend of Ferguson and the pair are set to enjoy a close relationship next season, given that Sir Alex is moving upstairs to join United’s board of directors.

It is believed that Moyes has been cherry-picked by Ferguson ahead of a number of Continental managers with proven European credentials.

Moyes has established Everton as a top-six club during his 11-year reign on Merseyside despite having a budget that is dwarfed by his immediate top-table rivals.

He has not won a trophy since moving to Goodison Park in March 2002 but United are putting greater store in his Premier League experience, motivational qualities, coaching nous and ability to get the most out of his players.

Well if they get Moyes, one thing is for certain, Leighton Baines signing for them. Probably explains Evra's tears.

I reckon Fergiescum will be back in control by Christmas with Moyes Sacked and Scum mid table.

Am I missing something?

Please God let it be Moyes. Please, please, please.

Then give him £20million to buy back Rodwell.

Rumours from Downing Street are that as a Knight of the Realm he will receive an official State send off, his face on a new stamp and have an Airport or Aircraft carrier named after him.

A lot of us could potentially have egg on our faces if Moyes goes onto win the title there in the next 10 years

Increasingly hearing that David Moyes WILL leave #EFC to succeed Alex Ferguson at #MUFC in the summer

Sounds all but done to me.

R.I.P. Ferguson \candle

People talking about Ferguson's hanging around ensuring a smooth transition etc - surely he will essentially still be manager? When Moyes drops one of Ferguson's players, they'll go running to Fergie, surely? It's the whole Houllier/Evans thing - while they won't be "joint managers" per se, his presence there will surely cause problems.
