Moyes prepared to win respect of Man Utd squad

David Moyes says he doesn't expect to automatically have the respect of his new Manchester United squad.

Moyes takes over from Sir Alex Ferguson at United on July 1 but has already begun work behind the scenes.

"If you want to work for me you need to be able to work seven days a week. I need to know my staff will give me that effort.

"Discipline has to come from within for players. And I'm a great believer in giving young players opportunities.

"Developing players mentally is very important, but it needs to fit with what the players want.

"You have to keep your eye on what the industry is doing - what's new. And your recruiting as a manager can determine whether you keep your job.

"Everton needed a new direction when I came in and, as a coach, you have to find ways you can keep developing."
