David Moyes accepts it will be impossible to emulate the extraordinary feats of Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager.
Ferguson finally walked away this summer after 26 amazing years in which he won a staggering 13 Premier League titles.
Moyes must now carry on that success, but he realises matching what Ferguson did during his time at Old Trafford will simply not happen.
“It is impossible,” he said.
“To manage at this level for 26 years and have his success; I don’t think there will be any other manager who will do that amount of time at a club like Manchester United.”
Yet that does not mean Moyes is intimidated by Ferguson’s presence.
