Coach David Moyes is in hot water following last Sunday’s miserable loss away to former club Everton. Indeed, there will be no UEFA Champions League football for the Red Devils next season. Their mathematical chances of qualifying for the UEFA Europa League, at least, are also extremely slim.
With only four matches left on their agenda, Man United currently possess 57 points only, 12 points adrift Roberto Martinez’s Toffees. It was no surprise when, on Monday afternoon, rumours concerning Moyes’ “imminent” sacking emerged in the English media.
However, die-hard Arsenal fan and TV celebrity Piers Morgan was quick to react, tweeting what some Twitter members claimed to be a “stolen” hashtag.

Looking at records, will Manchester United’s current board be fair to sack the former Everton man? This football fan doesn’t think so.

It must feel awkward being David Moyes right now and receiving massive support from anti-Man United fans! But the manager can still count a few people backing him without irony.
