They really dont need to touch the defence. Rio is well up for another season. Jones is extremely underrated, Evans (who is he again?!) Oh yes Evans is really good and Evra is french so must be good. Dont tinker I say. Buy utility players like Buttner (does he still exist?) and they will be just fine.

Poor bastard. What could have been if he'd only got the likes of Tranny/Fabregas/Snidjer etc. Could have been oh so different.

You've forgotten Smalling. He was so good he even got an England place as soon as he got a red shirt.

Giggs confirmed as interim manager!

This is bad news to hear an a nice Easter weekend...

Moyes gone, but not forgotten. Obviously the best manager for the rags.

Lol prick on Sky just referred to Moyes as being English.

Dont think a new manager will be the golden ticket. It will take more than the reported £150 million to sort that shitty squad. Plus if they go for Van Gaal then there is the small matter of a World Cup between now and him taking over. Does not give him much time to get his feet under the desk.

From my Facebook timeline: "Ryan Giggs is the perfect replacement for Moyes, given his experience in footballing affairs."

David Moyes: 'Chosen One' banner may go to football museum

The banner that became a focal point of David Moyes's struggles as Manchester United manager may end up in a museum.

'The Chosen One' sign has hung from the Stretford End at Old Trafford since August, but will be removed before Saturday's home match with Norwich.

Stretford End Flags, which had the banner made, could donate it to the National Football Museum in Manchester.

The banner was made after Sir Alex Ferguson anointed Moyes as his successor before quitting last May.

A Stretford End Flags spokesman told BBC Sport that donating the banner was one of a number of options under consideration.
There had been intense debate over whether the banner should have remained as long as it did.

Fans who were openly critical of the former Everton boss called for its removal in the wake of a succession of damaging defeats.
Those were resisted, but it will go following Tuesday's sacking of Moyes.

A National Football Museum spokesman said: "Every object within our collection needs to fit within our strict collections guidelines.

"We are offered objects on a regular basis and while we are always grateful for these offers, we often have to decline for reasons of space and because it doesn't fit within our guidelines."

Brilliant I am using that one :-)

Cheers

Fucking fantastically deluded rags.. one of my mates on FB.

'David de Gea is the best keeper in the world' & 'Apparently Pep and Mourinho have been approached'. fucking hell are they actually on this planet?

not one comment on facebook or twitter about moyes sacking by any scum players very unusual, their probably doing cartwheels.

Pity scum arent owned by russians and moyes was banished to siberia..

then he'd be the frozen one

THE CHOSEN gONE

Best I have seen so far

When did they take the banner down?
Before or after?

Damn.....this was the year......this was the year

Since receiving the news this morning, Moyes has wasted no time in securing his next position.

He starts at Sky next Monday


After a days trainings he installs his first dish on Tuesday

Unless FFP suddenly collapses or United are exempt, they wont be able to spend this fabled £100-200M they keep jabbering on about. Even if the Glazers wanted to. A situation exacerbated by the loss of revenue next year.
