Former Everton star Kevin Kilbane tips David Moyes to thrive at Manchester United

Former Everton star Kevin Kilbane insists David Moyes is the man to replace Sir Alex Ferguson.

Vacancy

Should the 50-year-old Moyes opt to leave Goodison after 11 years at the helm, Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright will be left with a similarly difficult appointment as he attempts to fill the void. Wigan manager Roberto Martinez, whose side play Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday but are facing relegation from the Premier League, has been installed as favourite by the bookies to inherit Moyes' job. Kilbane added: "The future is the key for Bill Kenwright and for every Everton supporter. It was the highlight of my club career, playing for them. Kenwright has a huge task if Moyes decides to move on. He's got Everton at heart and he'll have a huge job in replacing him. "Martinez would be a good fit. I think Kenwright wouldn't go for a manager without Premier League experience. Martinez has got lots of experience of the English game, he's managed throughout the leagues. He's done a really good job at Wigan and got them to the FA Cup this final. "I'm sure Dave Whelan at Wigan will have something to say about it. There'll be a lot of bases to touch before an appointment is made but I'm sure if Kenwright decides to appoint Martinez it'll be a good fit at Goodison Park."
