Sir Alex Ferguson has urged the Manchester United supporters to get behind their new manager David Moyes.
The veteran boss confirmed last week that he was to step down from the position after 26 years at the helm at the end of the season and it was later revealed that Everton boss Moyes would be his replacement.
Addressing the crowd after his final home match in charge at Old Trafford this afternoon, Ferguson said: "I would also like to remind you that when we had some bad times here, the club stood by me. The directors, the coaching staff and players stood by me. Your job now is to stand by our new manager."
When Ferguson steps down next weekend following the conclusion of the match away at West Bromwich Albion, he will have been in the dugout for 1500 United games.
