David Moyes amesema kuwa mshambuliaji wa klabu yake ya Manchester United Wayne Rooney hatauzwa na klabu hiyo.
Bosi huyo mpya wa Old Trafford hii leo amkutana kwa mara ya kwanza na vyombo vya habari tangu athibitishwe baada ya mtangulizi wake Sir Alex Ferguson ajiuzulu nafazi hiyo miezi miwili iliyopita na maswali kuibuka juu ya hatma ta mshambuliaji huyo wa England ndani ya klabu hiyo.
Moyes alisita kuthibitisha kuwa Rooney ambaye alifahamika huko nyuma kuwa alimweleza Ferguson kuwa anataka kuondoka mwishoni kwa msimu uliopita kuwa amebadilisha mawazo, lakini amesisitiza kuwa atasalia ndani ya klabu hiyo.
'Tumezungumza mara nyingi, chochote kitakachotokea hapa kati kati tunashirikiana na Wayne anaonekana mwenye furaha naangalia mbela mbela kufanya kazi naye hatauzwa.
'Kulikuwepo na kikao cha faragha baina ya Wayne na Sir Alex. Na mimi naendelea sasa.
. As far as I am concerned, I am looking forward to getting Wayne Rooney to the right level.
'He has come back in good shape and he’s excellent in the training sessions.'
Moyes, 50, has joined United on a six-year contract after 11 years at Everton.

Speculation: Rumours surrounding Rooney's future had been rife but Moyes has kept the calm
He revealed that Ferguson invited him to his house in Cheshire and effectively told him that he would be his successor.
‘It was a strange situation,’ he added. ‘I had no idea whatsoever. I knew nothing until ir Alex Ferguson gave me a call and asked me to come to his house. I was expecting him to say he was taking one of my players at Everton.
‘But the first thing he said was “I’m retiring”. I asked when and he said “next week!”. His next words were, “You’re the next Manchester United manager”. I didn’t get a chance to say yes or no. I was told I was the next United manager and that was enough.
‘I was incredibly privileged but it was more shock. The blood drained from my face. But I always hoped I would be a consideration.’
Moyes acknowledged the challenge he faces to maintain the success Ferguson brought to Old Trafford, and admitted that it will e impossible to replicate.
But he insisted that he will do things his own way and not be intimidated by his fellow Scot staying on as a director and club ambassador.
‘I’m looking forward to him sitting behind me in the director’s box,’ said Moyes. ‘I’ve got to say he is someone I will use for advice.

‘Sir
Alex Ferguson will never go away. His statue his here and his name is
on the stand. It is impossible to match him and do it for 26 years at
this level. I don’t think there will be another manager who will do it
for that long. His achievements means there are no better.
Time will tell on the future. Any football manager wants to manage here. All I can do is what David Moyes has done before. I will definitely continue the traditions of Manchester United but put my own stamp on the club.
‘I am fortunate to take over champions of England. Success is tattooed across badge of this club. This job is about winning trophies and it is something I am wanting to do. It will not change me, I’m determined to try to get the first one on the board.
‘I am inexperienced in a lot of things. There are some brilliant managers who could have taken this role but the biggest confidence I can take is Sir Alex Ferguson telling me he wanted me for this role.
‘I hope he is sitting in the directors box. I have already called him two or three times for some advice.’

Moyes
added Ryan Giggs and Phil Neville to his coaching staff on Thursday,
and said he hopes to bring Paul Scholes back to the club in some
capacity in the future following his retirement at the end of last
season.
He would not expand on United’s pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara and his old Everton defender Leighton Baines, admitting that some deals may not be in place before the team leaves for a pre-season tour of Australia and Asia on Wednesday.
‘I will try to have players in before the tour but I would not like to say yes,’ he said. ‘The way the transfer window is things might be done later. Not everything will be done straightaway.
‘I would never speak about players at other clubs. I would try to answer as many questions as I can. This club is always interested in the best players.
‘I’ve only been the manager since July 1. This club will always go for the best players and will always go for the best young players.
‘We tried to introduce players at Everton the best we could, and it’s in the DNA here to bring in our own players from the youth set-up.’
Moyes admitted that he could not remember United having to face a tougher start, with the champions facing Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in their first five games.

But he welcomed the return of Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and the challenge of Manuel Pellegrini’s arrival at City.
‘I think there will be improvements from all the clubs,’ he added. ‘I’m pleased to see Jose back and we will enjoy having him back.
‘I have come across Pellegrini before and it will be new to him. There has been a big shake-up and there is a lot of things unknown, not just at this club but a few others.
‘I think the priority is doing well in all the competitions. We have to go for everything, you attempt to win everything. I’ve done it everywhere else I’ve been.
‘We will play exciting football, the way Manchester United play – but the biggest thing is to win.
‘I would always put winning at the top of the list and I’m sure Sir Alex Ferguson would as well. If you have an entertaining team and don’t win then you’re not going anywhere.’
