Fellow Scot Moyes, 50, who has been in charge at Goodison Park since 2002, held talks with Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright on Wednesday evening.The former Preston boss was installed as bookmakers' favourite to become the next United boss following a rush of bets over the weekend, even before speculation mounted about Ferguson's retirement. It is a great choice for United, but not a great choice for Everton because he will be a great loss to them. It makes the transition easier to get another British and Scottish manager in," said the ex-Toffees forward. Wigan's Roberto Martinez and Michael Laudrup of Swansea are thought to top Everton's list of potential replacements.He's not had huge finances but he has still managed to put an Everton team together that comfortably finishes in the top 10.He will always be judged against someone with phenomenal success, but he will know that anyway. However, you can still see the allure of the job. It is one of the three biggest clubs in the world, so it will always get big names wanting that job.Moyes is expected to tell players and staff of his decision to join United at a training ground meeting on Thursday morning.He's a winner and has a work ethic similar to Sir Alex," the ex-England manager told BBC Radio 5 live. "He's also built a dynasty and legacy at Everton. Anyone who has worked with David Moyes says great things about his man-management and his coaching," Shearer told BBC Sport. He could still lead Everton out at Goodison Park against West Ham on Sunday for what would be his final home game in charge.
