Give Moyes a shot
Mourinho at Porto and Benefica wasn't exactly rolling with deep pockets
“It’s a great honour to be asked to be the next Manager of Manchester United. 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.
“I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and Board of Directors and a great set of players. Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table.
“Everton’s fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players. Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life.”
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Wayne Rooney has asked for a transfer away from Manchester United, but insists the striker will not be sold.

Rooney, 27, was left out of United’s squad altogether for the 2-1 win against Swansea at Old Trafford, fuelling speculation that the England international is set for a summer departure from the club.
And Ferguson - who steps down from his role as manager of the Red Devils at the end of the season - revealed after the game that the striker did not want to be involved in the Premier League clash due to having handed in a transfer request.
Ferguson told Sky Sports 1: “I don't think Wayne was keen to play, simply because he has asked for a transfer.
“I think he wants to think it through in his mind - I think that's a good idea. We're not going to let him go.
“I think maybe he is a bit frustrated. He has been taken off once or twice in the past couple of weeks.''
Rooney, who has been linked with a move to the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea of late, previously asked to leave United before signing a new five-year contract in 2010.
Despite initially being happy with his decision to remain at Old Trafford, the former Everton man has endured a frustrating 2012-13 campaign.
Rooney has often had to play second fiddle to Robin van Persie, who joined United from Arsenal last summer, while he has been dropped by Ferguson on occasions, including the Champions League last 16 tie against Real Madrid.
He also endured a difficult relationship with incoming manager David Moyes both during and after his time at Everton.
Rene Meulensteen won't be short of offers as he leaves Manchester United.
The Daily Mail says Meulensteen has emerged as a contender for the managerial vacancies at Wigan Athletic and Brighton after rejecting an offer to become David Moyes’ assistant at Old Trafford.
The 49-year-old Dutchman, who is also believed to have options in Germany and the Middle East, has been an integral part of United’s success over the past five years and his departure will be a blow for Moyes.
Meulensteen is the third member of Ferguson’s backroom team to leave since the new manager was appointed.
