David Moyes is facing the sack as Manchester United manager with the owners, the Glazer family, and Ed Woodward, the vice-president, in discussions about whether they should continue with the Scot.
United's 2-0 loss to Everton on Sunday was the latest evidence that Moyes may be best relieved of his duties and it appears only a matter of time before the decision is taken.
As reported by the Guardian, Moyes has been under scrutiny since last month following the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. The chief concern for the board is how bad the team have played throughout the season under Moyes, with little sign of improvement. The question now being asked at the highest level is whether he is the right man to be carry out a £150m rebuild.

When replacing Sir Alex Ferguson last summer Moyes signed a six-year contract as the club were determined that stability should be the best strategy to continue the former manager's supremely successful 26-year reign.
That policy appears in ruins, and Woodward and the Glazers will already be deliberating over who should succeed Moyes if he is sacked.
Borussia Dortmund's Jürgen Klopp, Diego Simeone of Atlético Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain's Laurent Blanc and the Holland coach, Louis van Gaal will all be discussed as the next potential manager.
