David Moyes has signed a six-year deal to replace Alex Ferguson as the manager of Manchester United
The current Everton boss, who will take over on July 1, described his appointment as a "great honour".
Paying tribute to his fellow Scotsman, he said: "I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the football club.
"I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn't something that comes around very often and I'm really looking forward to taking up the post next season."
Ferguson, who is stepping down after 26 years in charge, said the club had "unanimously agreed" upon Moyes.
"David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here," he said.
"He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club."Sky Sports

I think if I was God forbid a united fan and had waited 26 years to get rid of Fergie I would be a bit gutted that Moyes was the replacement, not exactly a glamourous choice is it

How the mighty have fallen. Moyes is clueless and tactically useless at picking a team for a European match. Long may it continue

well peeps he is gone !!!!
Manchester United manager David Moyes has been sacked, only 10 months after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson.
His dismissal was announced shortly after 0830 BST, following a meeting with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward at the club's training ground. Play media
Moyes - from 'Chosen One' to sacked
Moyes, 50, was chosen by Ferguson to succeed him when he retired after 26 years in charge last summer.
United said player-coach Ryan Giggs will take charge "until a permanent appointment can be made".
His first match as interim boss will be the home game against Norwich on Saturday.
The BBC understands coaches Steve Round and Jimmy Lumsden have also left their posts, but goalkeeping coach Chris Woods and first-team coach Phil Neville will remain with the club for the rest of the season.
And in a short statement on Tuesday, the club said Moyes had departed, adding that it "would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role".
