Manchester United are preparing to fire David Moyes as manager.
Newspapers including the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail and The Guardian all reported on Monday that United will fire Moyes.
United initially did not deny the reports when contacted by ESPN FC, but later insisted that the manager had "definitely" not been sacked. However, senior officials at the club have said privately that the sacking is “imminent."
The Glazer family began considering firing Moyes since United's FA Cup defeat to Swansea City on Jan. 5.
United lost to Everton, Moyes' former club, over the weekend.
The Guardian, meanwhile, said high-level discussions had taken place as to whether Moyes was the right man to spend the 150 million pounds that is available to be invested into the squad this summer.
