Manchester United's coaching staff are reportedly in the dark regarding their positions at Old Trafford following rumours that manager David Moyes is on the verge of getting sacked.

Widespread reports emerged in the wake of Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Everton that the United hierarchy have lost patience with the Scotsman.

While some reports have claimed that United could dismiss Moyes as early as today, it is believed that the coaching staff - which includes former player Phil Neville - are yet to be told their fates, according to BBC Sport.

Should the North-West outfit choose to part company with Moyes, the club will need to alert the New York Stock Exchange before it opens at 2.30pm UK time.

Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal is said to be United's number one target as a permanent replacement.
