Everton boss David Moyes is in pole position to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, Sky sources understand.
Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen said he would choose the Everton boss. Owen, the former Liverpool striker who played under Ferguson for two seasons, said on Twitter: "What an act to follow. I guess only Mourinho would have the confidence to strut through the door. If it were me, I'd go for Moyes." Former United keeper Peter Schmeichel also believes Moyes would be a good fit as a successor as he has proved he can stay at one club for a long time, spending 10 years at Everton. "What we are looking for is, not someone to come in 10 months or three years, we want someone to come stay there and give stability," he added. "When we talk about Moyes, he has been a decade at Everton and done a fantastic job on limited funds. "Is he cut from the same cloth? I dont know. Don't forget there will be major changes with David Gill stepping down - the club is really changing in the summer, the more stability they can add the better. "David Moyes, he sounds like a good solution."
