Everton are yet to respond to speculation that manager David Moyes will move to Manchester United at the end of the season.

Moyes is being linked with Sir Alex Ferguson's job after the Scot announced his retirement.

The 50-year-old's Everton contract runs out in the summer and no agreement has been reached over a new deal.

He has previously said that he wants to wait until the end of this campaign before deciding whether to extend his time at Goodison Park into a 12th year.

Moyes has brought stability and consistency on a relatively small budget to the Merseysiders and is viewed by United chiefs as a man who, like his outgoing compatriot, values youth development and longevity.

Everton have yet to comment on the speculation.
