England coach Roy Hodgson is convinced David Moyes will relish having Sir Alex Ferguson to call on when taking charge of Manchester United.

Hodgson claimed it will be 'a Godsend' for Moyes to be able to call on Ferguson for advice.

He told talkSPORT: "I'm sure that being available for the new man he will be a Godsend in that respect because there is nothing he doesn't know about football and Manchester United.

"The amount of time he has given to younger managers in terms of advice and support, and the support he has given to the LMA (League Managers' Association) to protect those managers, you don't expect that from someone at the very top of his profession."
