David Moyes is already preparing for life as manager of Manchester United, despite not officially taking over at Old Trafford until the July 1st.

The out-going Everton manager has been at the club's Carrington training ground this morning, meeting with staff and the playing squad.

He is tipped to hold talks with goalkeeping coach Eric Steel and a number of coaches including Rene Meulensteen, as he mulls over the make-up of his backroom team.

It is believed that he intends to bring his current first-team coach Jimmy Lumsden with him from Everton. The recently-retired Phil Neville has also been tipped as a possible arrival.

Moyes will finalize his coaching set-up before taking a six week break.
