United’s owners the Glazer family have finally lost patience with Moyes after a dismal season that has seen the reigning Barclays Premier League champions slump to seventh in the table.
The final straw was Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Everton, their 11th in the Barclays Premier League this season, and a result that left the title holders down 13 points off the Champions League places.
End of the line: David Moyes will be sacked by Manchester United and could leave before the end of the season
Under pressure: United crashed to a 2-0 defeat
at Moyes's former club Everton on Sunday, their 11th defeat of the
Premier League season
Searching for inspiration: Moyes has found it impossible to maintain the high standards set by predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson
Bright beginnings: Moyes started work at Old
Trafford on July 1 last summer, having been announced as Ferguson's
replacement in May

It is understood that the plan now is to sack Moyes at the end of the season but the situation could now come to a head later on Monday or in the coming days. If the former Everton boss is sacked before the season’s end, club legend Ryan Giggs will be asked to take over team affairs.
In terms of appointing a long-term successor, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, Holland’s Louis van Gaal and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti are in the frame.
