Departing Everton captain Phil Neville feels David Moyes is the better fit for Manchester United than Jose Mourinho. Neville has no doubt Moyes is more suited to filling the biggest job in football. Mourinho may have unique qualities but so, too, does Moyes.

"The pressure will always be there and he will have to win games and trophies," Neville told the Daily Mail. "He will do that. People talk about Jose Mourinho being the Special One but the gaffer has something special about him. He keeps producing.

"Every season at Everton people would say he was going to get stale and the club was going to finish in the bottom half but that never happened. He squeezes everything out of everyone. He was the best candidate, 100 per cent.

"If Jose Mourinho came to Manchester United you would think, with his track record, that in maybe three seasons he would be gone. Manchester United are looking at the next 20 years. You can put him (Moyes) alongside any coach in the world for that job and he is the best candidate. There is no-one else they could have invested in who would offer the same longevity as the previous manager."
