After 26 years in the Manchester United seat, Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to retire. The new man in the seat is the now former Everton manager, David Moyes. Great Dane Football Blog gives you five reasons why Moyes is the right man for the job.

5. Hand picked by Ferguson

Rumours says that Sir Alex Ferguson himself, has hand picked David Moyes as his replacement. There is no doubt that Ferguson will have had his say on the man to follow him, and if he really has hand picked Moyes, he must believe that the former Everton manager has what it takes to lead United to victory.

4. Less controversial

One of the names mentioned as a replacement for Alex Ferguson was Jose Mourinho. The "special one" is known as a controversial figure and might have caused more damage than glory to Manchester United. Instead, David Moyes is more of the English gentleman with history with almost none controversies. It's worth noticing than you almost never see Moyes actively seeking controversies.

3. Manager for the long run

Manchester United are a club that wants a manager for the long run. David Moyes has been loyal to Everton for 11 years and fits perfectly to United's tradition of long term stability. He will get the space and the board will be patient with him, as he is replacing the man synonymous with Manchester United. 

2. Experience of a tight budget

David Moyes has worked on an extremely low budget in Everton and still managed to make them a sub-top team in the Premier League. Manchester United has debt issues and to some extent Moyes will be working on a tight budget here, as well. That said his transfer possibilities will be far better than they were in Everton.

1. Likes to promote within

Just like Alex Ferguson David Moyes likes to promote youth players to the senior team. In 2002, he was the manager to give Wayne Rooney his debut when he was only 16-year-old. Manchester United is known for their academy, and we might see a few extra youth players for Manchester United in the future. Furthermore, promoting youth players saves money!
