Chosen One 1 Special One 0: United to unveil Moyes as Fergie's successor after Old Trafford directors reject Mourinho
PUBLISHED: 04:17 EST, 8 May 2013 | UPDATED: 08:45 EST, 8 May 2013
Manchester United are set to unveil David Moyes as their new manager by Thursday evening.
Ferguson this morning announced that his 27-year tenure at Old Trafford would end with retirement after the final game of the season - at West Brom on May 19.
Sportsmail understands that the United hierarchy have their man and will officially announce the decision on who replaces Sir Alex Ferguson once personal terms have been agreed. And that man will not be Jose Mourinho, despite his talks with Chelsea reportedly stalling this week.
United's board members - most notably Sir Bobby Charlton - are believed to have been attracted to Moyes due to his longevity at Everton and his commitment to building teams.
It is understood that Ferguson had planned to stand down for a while but was hoping to delay an announcement until the weekend.

Moyes is believed to earn £4million a year at Everton - making him the only Barclays Premier League manager to receive more than any of his players. His contract runs out in the summer and he can expect to see himself climb up the pay scale considerably with a move to the champions.
Jose Mourinho was believed to be in the running to succeed Ferguson, who has won 38 tophies including 13 Premier League titles and two European Cups in his time at Old Trafford, but United's directors appear to have decided against the Portuguese.
Moyes, 50, has previously said that he wanted to wait until the end of this campaign before deciding whether to extend his time at Goodison into a 12th year.
He will be happy to work with fellow Scot Ferguson, who has taken a position on United's board of directors.
Moyes will also be an attractive proposition to United because of his consistency and loyalty to Everton during the last decade.
His focus on bringing through youth talent is also a huge selling point for the club that selected at least one player who has come through the academy system for more than 1,000 consecutive games.
