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.

A very good side playing at the sort of level we are aspiring to.

Messi is the world's best and gets physically attacked every game but all he ever does is get up and get on with it.

I am joining the people's football club. The majority of people you meet on the street are Everton fans

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.
