Manchester United Boss Remains in Charge For Now

The future of David Moyes remains uncertain a day after reports emerged the 50-year-old Scot's 10-month reign as Manchester United manager was over.

The Premier League champions insisted on Monday that Moyes, who succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson, had not been

sacked.

But national newspapers are adamant the club will dispense with the ex-Everton manager's services after a poor season.

When pressed on whether Moyes was leaving, a spokesperson replied: "We do not comment on speculation."

But most newspapers expect him to be gone in the next 24 hours, with coverage of his seemingly imminent departure filling both the front pages and back.

"You wouldn't expect Moyes to be manager by the end of this evening, otherwise it's just cruel," said Shaun Custis, chief football writer for The Sun. "It's like death by a thousand cuts."

Former United captain Gary Neville, who made more than 600 appearances for the club, wants the situation resolved quickly. "Usually they don't comment on anything, but they're going to have to clarify this position quickly," Neville told Sky Sports.

"They might have to break rank and do what they don't normally do and make a statement pretty quickly."

As the speculation continues, security guards at United's training ground told reporters on Tuesday morning that Moyes had arrived at 0500 BST.

But coaching staff heading to Carrington say they have not yet been told anything about their futures.

Netherlands coach Louis Van Gaal, Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp, Atletico Madrid's manager Diego Simeone and Paris Saint-Germain's Laurent Blanc have already been tipped as possible successors to Moyes.

However, reports suggest United winger Ryan Giggs could be part of a temporary management team until the end of the season.

United lie seventh in the table with four games left and cannot qualify for next season's Champions League following Sunday's 2-0 loss at Everton.

Whatever happens in those remaining matches, United will record their lowest ever points tally in the Premier League.

Moyes was handed a six-year-deal after being chosen by Ferguson to replace his fellow Scot after 26 years in charge of Old Trafford.
