David Moyes reportedly sacked by Manchester United

Manchester United are expected to confirm shortly that they have parted company with manager David Moyes.

He was given the job in July of 2013 on a six year contract. Outgoing manager Sir Alex Ferguson had told the board Moyes was the man to succeed him.

But United will end the season without a trophy and, crucially, will not have qualified for the Champions League next season.

On Sunday Moyes returned to his former club Everton. Manchester United lost the match 2-0.

The confirmation of his dismissal is expected after the opening of the USA stick market in New York.
