David Moyes is facing the sack as Manchester United manager, according to unconfirmed reports.

 

Moyes has endured a difficult reign since taking charge of United last summer, but the club were expected to stand by the Scot, despite a lack of success in domestic and European competitions.

 

United's board appear set to cut short Moyes' six-year deal in the wake of the latest 2-0 defeat at former club Everton, which left United 13 points adrift of the Premier League top four.

 

Reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League did briefly ease the pressure on Moyes, but they bowed out with a 4-2 aggregate defeat against Bayern Munich.

 

Sir Alex Ferguson had urged the club to give the next manager time when he stepped down in May after a glittering spell at Old Trafford, but owners, the Glazer Family, seem to have lost patience.

 

United are expected to spend heavily in the summer and a successor would be entrusted with the transfer fund, which is reported to be around £150million.

 

Holland manager Louis van Gaal, who is leaving after the World Cup, Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp, and Paris St Germain's Laurent Blanc have been tipped as possible contenders to replace Moyes.

Manchester United are set to end David Moyes' reign at Old Trafford after a desperately mediocre season.

 

The former Everton boss looks to have lost the dressing room, forcing the Glazers to act.

 

Meetings are currently ongoing to decide when the Scotsman will be asked to leave, with many expecting his departure to come at the end of the season.

 

Since moving to United, Moyes has failed to convince many, leaving last year's Premier League winners in seventh place, 23 points behind leaders Liverpool.

 

Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park was indicative of the poor nine months that United have suffered with Moyes at the helm.

 

When Moyes' departure is confirmed, it's expected that club legend Ryan Giggs will likely take temporary charge.
