Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes FA Cup opponents Everton are close to emulating the Howard Kendall era under manager David Moyes.

"When you go back to the 1960s and 1980s Everton were the dominant team," said Ferguson. "But after Howard Kendall left they seemed to have financial problems from time to time.

"But David Moyes is building a big club. The evidence is there.

"My problem on Sunday is that we will face a very hungry team.

"David has to win a trophy. I know he is feeling that way and this is a big opportunity for him."
