David Moyes to be sacked as Manchester United manager after losing support of the club’s Glazer family owners

David Moyes is facing the sack as

Manchester United manager with the club's

owners, the Glazer family, preparing to call

time on the Scot's disastrous tenure at Old

Trafford.

Just 11 months after being handed a six-year

contract as Sir Alex Ferguson's hand-picked

successor at United, Moyes is understood to

have lost the backing of the Glazers and senior

executives at the club, with Sunday's 2-0

defeat at Everton proving the final straw.

The 50-year-old's reign could end before

Saturday's Old Trafford encounter with

Norwich City if he chooses to seek assurances

over his future which executive vice-chairman

Ed Woodward is unlikely to be able to offer.

The backroom staff appointed by Moyes in

place of Ferguson's coaches Mike Phelan and

Rene Meulensteen are also likely to be moved

on, with Steve Round, Jimmy Lumsden and Phil

Neville having struggled to earn the respect

and backing of the players.
