1. David Moyes
He had all my attention! First press conference as MUFC manager, which in my humble and very unbiased opinion, couldn't go any better!On Baba Kai:
They already had that talk in which he told Rooney about the possibilities of overtaking Sir Charlton's goalscoring record. Rooney is only 52 goals away.
And it is now official that Rooney is not for sale and will continue to play for Manchester United. He didn't say for how long but fact that he will be there next season is all we care about. Where will he be in the 2014/2015 season? We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
On Sir Alex:
Sir Alex does not intimidate Moyes. In fact, he hopes the former Boss will be sitting at the Director's box!
On Scholes:
Moyes spent two hours on the phone with Paul Scholes who wants time to be with his family before he decides what to do but he has also been told that there will always be a place for him at Manchester United. Duh, like he didn't know!
By the way, two hours talking with Scholes! I bet he just broke one of Sir Alex's records right there and definitely set a new world record. Scholes talking for two hours! Impressive.
On Cristiano:
"This club is always interested in the best players."And since Ronaldo is the best player then Manchester United is interested in him. And since Ronaldo is also interested in us ........ (you can figure out the rest of this story.)
Me: This guy really did his homework!
On
Asked if he will have a new player before the pre season tour (between July 13th to August 6th) he didn't make any promises but said he'll try. Well, we can live with that.
On Classic quotes:
One of my worries was definitely cleared yesterday. You know those classic Sir Alex's quotes that we thought we were going to miss. Relax, Moyes got that part covered too. And just to give you a taste of what he has in store for us;
"I come to a club where success is tattooed across its badge."How about this?
"Old Trafford is the place you want to go."Me: Moyes, how did you know? Of course it is THE place I want to go.

2. Sir Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex was not at the press conference but the way Moyes replayed how he was offered the job, you just couldn't ignore Sir Alex!I love how Sir Alex was Sir Alex when he first told him that he is going to be the next MUFC Manager. Apparently, Sir Alex asked him to his house which Moyes expected was to tell him that 'I am going to take one of your players.' This got me asking, so, Sir Alex did this when he was taking Rooney? Called Moyes and told him, 'I am going to take Rooney.' How bossy!
Okay, enough with recreating pasts. When Sir Alex told Moyes that he was going to retire this is how it all went down;
Sir Alex: I am going to retire.
Moyes: Yeah, when? *with I had that before look on his face*
Sir Alex: Next week.
Moyes: *Surprised face*
Sir Alex: And you're the next Manchester United Manager.
Me: Thank you Sir Alex for everything and thank you for Moyes.

3. Nemanja Vidic
Two things about Vidic, I like how he plays with no fear and the way he commands with just his presence, we couldn't possibly have a better Captain.And the second thing is, don't we all agree that he could make one scary gangsta?
Back to non-fiction, as expected Captain Vidic was there for Moyes' press conference. He talked about the respect they had for Moyes even when he was with Everton, how players are excited to work with him and how they will do whatever they can to make sure that Moyes achieves what he wants to achieve with MUFC. I like that they put their desires aside and work on Moyes' and that they want to impress him. And since Moyes wants to win trophies, well, then trophies we are going to get.
Vidic also said that he has spoken with Rooney but it was not about his future. Could it be because his future will be just as his present which means no need to waste precious time on that?
And on Rooney he said;
"He's in very good shape, the best shape in the last five years."I think this quote needs a little bit of explanation. What Vidic meant was the way he sees Rooney at training, he is in his best shape of the past five years. He did not mean that 2012/2013 was Rooney's best season in five years. Because that, even I would question!
