Former Manchester United and Everton boss David Moyes has praised Eddie Howe for his work at Bournemouth.

Moyes is sorry to see so few British managers in the Premier League.

He told the Daily Express: “They are really getting squeezed. I think Eddie Howe, for example, is doing a really good job.

"He has the chance to build at Bournemouth and everybody can see the direction he is going in.

“Maybe he will get to a point where he hits the glass ceiling. I had that at Everton, where we were always finishing fifth, sixth, seventh every year and we couldn't break higher.

“Eddie might reach that stage but it will be much harder to step into the big jobs because they can choose from all over the world.

“It is a difficult situation for young British managers. There are a lot of really good ones out there trying to learn and finding the route forward blocked.

“Perhaps one answer is to export more British managers into the big leagues in Europe. It would so enhance our football. Young English players like Jadon Sancho are going abroad and doing well.

“I think managers doing the same would be a big plus. I learned a lot from my spell at Real Sociedad."
