Reports in the British press are claiming that Manchester United will part ways with David Moyes.

Yesterday's meek 2 - 0 defeat to Everton - which confirmed no Champions League football for 2014/15 - was their 11th of a harrowing season and the Daily Mail has suggested that the Glazer family which owns the club has "lost patience" with Alex Ferguson's successor.

The Telegraph is among a number of British papers to suggest that Moyes could be sacked before this Saturday's home match against Norwich City.

The Manchester Evening News has also said that the club has refused to confirm or deny rumours that Moyes will be sacked.

The Guardian adds that the Glazers and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward discussed whether Moyes is the right man to be entrusted with the rebuilding job this summer, while there are reports of tension between the Scot and a number of senior players.

Danny Welbeck is said to be considering his future, while Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs are also said to have had their differences with Moyes this season.

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp, Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone, Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs and Holland manager Louis Van Gaal are all under consideration as potential replacements for the man chosen by Alex Ferguson. Giggs has been linked with a caretaker role until the end of the season.

Klopp is regarded as a "genius" by Ed Woodward according to Off The Ball regular and United We Stand editor Andy Mitten.
