Scot Moyes in line to replace the irreplaceable

Perhaps the longest-running pub debate in sport is about to come to an end, with Everton manager David Moyes set to replace Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has long been linked with the role but looks certain to be on his way to Chelsea, while Borussia Dortmund Jurgen Klopp has his admirers.

But with United thought to be looking for a long-term replacement to maintain the steady course rather than make a splash, Moyes move from Goodison Park could be confirmed as early as tomorrow.
