Moyes: United talk just nonsense

22 April 2010 09:50
Everton boss David Moyes has dismissed reports that he is set to replace Sir Alex Ferguson as manager at Manchester United.[LNB] Even though United have a chance of a fourth successive title, there is speculation Ferguson may not be far off retirement.[LNB]A number of names have been mentioned as the Scot's successor with Inter Milan's Jose Mourinho apparently the favourite.[LNB]Moyes is also seen to be in the frame after eight successful years at Everton, who are again pushing for a place in Europe.[LNB]However, he was keen to distance himself from the gossip in an interview in the Daily Record.[LNB]Moyes said: "It was Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce and Roy Keane being mentioned not long ago.[LNB]"When my players are linked with clubs it annoys me. So I don't want to go into any of it. But as far as I'm concerned this is a load of nonsense.[LNB]"What I will say is I think it will be a terrible day when Sir Alex does finish. He is someone all the football managers look up to, they all respect him.[LNB]"Even when he's fighting them, he still has the humility to have a drink with them at the end of the game.[LNB]"And he still has the dignity to phone them if they are sacked or out of work. There's a lot of that from his Glasgow roots."
