Sir Alex Ferguson insists football will remain the priority at Manchester United when David Moyes takes over at Old Trafford.

And, speaking ahead of his final game in charge of Manchester United on Sunday, Ferguson added: "People used to say to me 'do you think this one will be a manager or manage United' about players who are not even in the job now. "Football is that kind of industry.. "When you're assessing the job here you have to get somebody who has the longevity and the experience over a long time to manage this club. "That is why David was above everyone else. "I hope (he can be there for a long time). "It's the one club he could do that at. We've shown great loyalty to our managers."
