Moyes, named as Alex Ferguson's successor at Old Trafford on Thursday, would take questions only about Sunday's Premier League game against West Ham, the club said.

Everton said Moyes would hold a media conference at 1:30 p.m. but added in a statement: "Please note Mr Moyes will not be answering any questions on the subject of Manchester United or his appointment as the club's new manager."

Sixth-placed Everton play mid-table West Ham at GoodisonPark on Sunday (3:00 p.m.) before facing Chelsea in their last game of the season at StamfordBridge on May 19.

Moyes officially takes over at United on July 1 after Ferguson, Britain's longest-serving and most successful football manager, announced on Wednesday that he would retire.
