Martinez urges Everton fans to give Moyes warm return

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has urged fans to give Manchester United boss David Moyes a warm welcome tomorrow.

Moyes will return to Goodison on Sunday for the first time since he ended his 11-year reign last May.

"For many reasons it is big - when you come up against the champions it is always a big enough reason to be excited," said Martinez. "We have got opportunity to do double and then there is the return of David Moyes.

"We are a club full of integrity and style and we will do things right. I'm sure he will get a good reception as a former Everton manager, every Evertonian will have good memories.

"Once the whistle goes, three points will be the many focus. I think the atmosphere will be like it was against Arsenal. We have continued the good work.

"We needed to embrace. I was so grateful and privileged to take over what he did. You can tweak it and polish it but I wanted to build on the good work he had done."
