Moyes starts job at United

London - David Moyes on Monday officially started his job as manager of Manchester United, taking over from Alex Ferguson, who resigned in May after 26-years in the post.

The 50-year-old former Everton boss drove into the United's Carrington training ground in a sponsored Chevrolet at just after 8:00 am, stopping briefly to wait for security barriers to be raised before heading into work.

In a sign of the changes underway at Old Trafford, within minutes of Moyes' arrival the club confirmed another regional partnership - with leading Thai telecommunications company True Corporation Plc.

True will be an associate match sponsor for United's opening tour match against Singha All Stars in Bangkok on July 13 - Moyes' first in charge.

Club officials also confirmed the appointments of Steve Round as assistant manager, Chris Woods as goalkeeping coach and Jimmy Lumsden as coach.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
