Tears And Farewells Loom

[Folami David]

Alex Ferguson and David Moyes will find their reputations as two of the Premier League's tough guys put to the test on Sunday as the men at the centre of a remarkable week prepare to make tear- stained farewells to Manchester United and Everton.
.
Just seven days ago it was hard to imagine that United's apparently irrelevant final home game of the season against Swansea and Everton's mundane Goodison Park fixture against West Ham would captivate millions across the globe rather than just the supporters of the respective clubs.
.
But Ferguson's sensational announcement on Wednesday that he will retire as United manager at the end of the season after 26-and-a-half years in charge at Old Trafford and the subsequent appointment of Everton boss Moyes as his replacement on Thursday changed all that.
.
Now the world will be watching as Ferguson takes charge of United at Old Trafford for the last time, while Moyes will also be under the microscope ahead of his official move to Manchester on July 1.
