David Moyes says that is "an honour" to be asked to become the next manager of Manchester United.

David Moyes has said that is a "great honour" to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United.

The Everton boss will replace Sir Alex Ferguson, who is to retire at the end of this season after 26 years in the Old Trafford hotseat.

Moyes has agreed a six-year deal with United.

In a statement on the club's official website, Moyes said: "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."

Moyes will officially join United on July 1.
