Really not bothered about result. Just feeling sad that can't see fergie anymore in the pitch. But confident Moyes will do a gr8 job.

David Moyes held talks with Manchester United's squad and coaching staff on Monday after starting work at his new club in an unofficial capacity.

The Scot met with Sir Alex Ferguson and chief executive David Gill as well as members of United's backroom staff.

Moyes arrived at United's Carrington training ground on his own but left with Ferguson to attend the League Managers' Association awards in London.
The meetings on Monday were driven by Moyes's desire to give staff at Old Trafford and Goodison Park clarity about their future before they go on holiday.

His first-team coach at Everton, Jimmy Lumsden, is tipped to join him at United.

Moyes was given permission by Everton to visit Manchester United's training ground on Monday.

Speaking after Sunday's 2-1 loss at Chelsea, Moyes said: "I'll probably be doing two jobs for the next week or so."

The 50-year-old Scot is under contract to the Toffees until the end of June but is only likely to be at the club's Finch Farm training headquarters this week before leaving to go on a holiday.

United are scheduled to tour Thailand, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong in July.

Their first competitive game with Moyes in charge is the Community Shield against FA Cup winners Wigan at Wembley on 11 August.

Sir Alex Ferguson was named the League Managers' Association Manager of the Year after guiding Manchester United to a 20th title.
Cardiff City's Malky Mackay was the top Championship manager, while Yeovil Town's Gary Johnson was honoured as League One Manager of the Year.
Gillingham's Martin Allen won the League Two manager's award.
"In a way I am glad it is all over now because it has been hard work," said the retiring Ferguson.
Manchester United drew 5-5 with West Brom in Ferguson's 1,500th and final game in charge of United.
The 71-year-old, who won 38 trophies in a 26-year reign at Old Trafford, will be succeeded by Everton's David Moyes, who takes over on 1 July.

"It has been overwhelming," said Ferguson. "The club has been fantastic and congratulations to West Brom with the way they handled yesterday [Sunday].
"I think [West Brom manager] Steve Clarke should get an award because anyone who scores five against United deserves it."
LMA chairman Howard Wilkinson said: "There is no doubt that the LMA Annual Awards are perceived as the most accurate measure of a manager's ability because there are no better judges of your performance than your peers.
"Finding words to adequately describe the monumental levels of achievement and the indelible legacy Sir Alex Ferguson leaves in the game, is nigh on impossible. This evening's award adds yet another record to that list, making him the only person to secure the much-coveted LMA Manager of the Year Award for a fourth time.
"David Moyes, his choice of successor to the Old Trafford throne, has won it three times and I know that Sir Alex will hope and believe that David goes on to equal and surpass the new record."
Mackay's Cardiff secured promotion to the Premier League in April and went on to win the Championship by eight points from Hull.
He said: "I am just very proud of the whole club - a lot of people in the last two years have put hard work into building this."
England boss Roy Hodgson was elected into the LMA's 1,000 club for managers who had been in charge of 1,000 games after the body agreed to take overseas and international matches into account.
Former Southampton and Northern Ireland boss Lawrie McMenemy was also elected into the club.
Hodgson, who has coached in eight different countries, said the job of a manager was becoming tougher.
"You have to be very lucky to survive the ups and downs and that's getting harder and harder," he said.
"I have been lucky and done it in some quite easy places to be compared to what Sir Alex Ferguson has done at Manchester United and Aberdeen, that's for sure."

U21s win League too


Warren Joyce hailed the character, fitness and winning mentality of his Manchester United Under-21 players after a triumphant end to the season at Old Trafford.
After trailing 0-2 at half-time to a talented Tottenham Hotspur side, the young Reds responded brilliantly after the break to win the Barclays Under-21 Premier League final with goals from Marnick Vermijl and Larnell Cole (2).
"To be fair to the first half, I thought we started the game well," said Joyce, in a post-match interview interrupted by jubilant players soaking him with energy drinks.
"The two goals we conceded were due to poor individual errors really. Obviously the second half was better and our players' heart, character and fitness shone through in the end. I thought we thoroughly deserved to win."
The 3-2 triumph capped a fine season for an often-changing side and continued the trajectory for a number of players involved in the club's FA Youth Cup victory of two years ago.
"The bulk of this side won the Youth Cup, won everything they could possibly win last season, they've won the Manchester Senior Cup this year and they've won that trophy tonight," Joyce acknowledged.
"They've shown a lot of character. They can take criticism, they can come back and dig themselves out of holes. That's what you're looking for in a Manchester United player."
Joyce was asked about one player in particular, substitute Tom Lawrence who played a key role in turning the Tottenham tie on its head.
"Tom's not had a lot of football and as I said to him before the game, he can't sustain 90 minutes," said Joyce. "If we'd had a game plan and looking for him to make an impact, I just thought it was better that way round [Lawrence being sub] than him starting the game and having to come off, gambling on us scoring early. He's got to have an operation maybe tomorrow or Wednesday so we had that on our minds as well."
Turning to Tottenham, the winners of two group stages this term, Joyce said: "I think Tottenham have proved this season that they are an excellent passing side.
"They can handle the ball, they've got a lot of creative players and I think they've got several players that will make the grade in that team. They're a bit older than us. They're a bit more experienced. But I just thought the general fitness of our boys told in the end."
Joyce was naturally thrilled his Under-21 players could follow in the first team's footsteps and win their league, to ensure a period of celebration and reflection ended on one more high note.
"Officially this is the gaffer's [Sir Alex Ferguson's] last game at Old Trafford. It's been an emotional weekend for everyone at the football club, it was another emotional day yesterday and we're delighted to have finished the way we have tonight."

Former Manchester United and England defender Brian Greenhoff has died suddenly at the age of 60.
Greenhoff was a member of the United team which beat Liverpool 2-1 in the 1977 FA Cup final, before moving to Leeds United for £350,000 in 1979.
In total, he made 271 appearances for the Old Trafford club, scoring 17 goals, and won 18 caps for England.

Born in Barnsley, Greenhoff, who served the Reds for six years from 1973, also played and coached at Rochdale.
Greenhoff won a second division winners' medal with United in 1975 and played in the same team as his brother, Jimmy, who joined the Reds in 1976.
The grandfather of three died at his home in Norden, near Rochdale, on Wednesday.
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances and the matter has been passed to the local coroner.
His former Manchester United team-mate Lou Macari told BBC Radio Manchester he was shocked by the news.
"We had no news that Brian had been ill," said Macari.
"Brian loved playing for United, it was a dream come true for him.
"His only aim was to keep playing for United as long as he could and he was a true servant.

"I was only looking at pictures of us winning the FA Cup final the other day. He was jumping around all over the place and was as happy as Larry.
"He went to Leeds for £350,000 which was a lot of money back then. That shows you what a good player he was."
A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said: "Shortly after 9.30am today, police were called to an address in Norden following a report of a sudden death.
"Officers attended and found that a man, believed to be 60, died suddenly.
"There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and the matter has been referred to the coroner."

Jimmy Greenhoff was the one I remembered from my Panini sticker albums of the 70s and 80s.
Unusual surname so maybe the same person?
