However, the report added, Moyes may face some ridicule from the crowd when he is introduced to local fans, as his names sounds similar to 'Moi'- a slang for pubic hair in Thailand.

Admitting that both the words sound similar, a source said that however, they are spelt differently, and joked that as 'Moi' is a funny and dirty slang for pubic hair, no fans would be chanting Moyes' name when he arrives.

Moyes, who was gifted with an United mousemat as a welcome present, has brought in an entirely new coaching team, all from his former club Everton, following Ferguson's departure after 27 years in charge.u00a0
