Alex Ferguson considering Old Trafford exit - reports

David Moyes is tipped to take over if the Manchester United boss steps down.

SPECULATION IS RIFE tonight that Alex Ferguson is on the verge of an exit from Manchester United.

The iconic manager has been in charge at the Premier League giants since 1986 but the football world is this evening considering a world without the 71-year-old in charge of the Red Devils.

Yesterday, bookmakers slashed odds on Everton boss David Moyes taking over from his compatriot at Old Trafford.

The Telegraph reports tonight that the league winners’ golf outing was ‘overshadowed’ by talk of Fergie’s rumoured departure and an announcement could be made before the weekend.
