The front of Manchester United's team photo has changed for the first time in 27 years as David Moyes appeared centre-stage in the first squad picture since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.

The new picture was released on the club's Twitter feed, with Moyes sandwiched between his skipper Nemanja Vidic and veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs.

The picture also features new signing Marouane Fellaini, who is positioned in the centre of the back row, and Wayne Rooney, who had been rumoured to be seeking an exit from the club in the summer, positioned bottom right. The Premier League trophy and Community Shield are also on display.

Moyes' team completed an impressive 1-0 win over fierce rivals Liverpool in the Capital One Cup.

The Scottish manager was particularly impressed with Mexican striker Javier Hernandez, who scored the only goal of the game.

'I think sometimes in the box it’s your movement so you can lose big defenders and markers,' explained Moyes on manutd.com.

'I think Chicha did that and he's done great - his movement in the box is terrific.

'It’s real centre-forward movement, and that is what Chicharito has always done for all his goals. Every time people talk about him, that’s what people tell me. He’s great in the box and he gets his goals that way.

'A lot of credit must go to him for the way he finished it as well. It's okay losing him [Enrique] but the way he adjusted his body to get the finish away means it was a really good goal from our point of view at a good time in the game.'
