Man U board assures Moyes of job safety

David Moyes has been assured his job is safe despite the latest setback in Manchester United's crisis-hit season.

Premier League champions United are heading for their worst season in a quarter of a century following their Capital One Cup exit to Sunderland on penalties.

That has left them with only the Champions League and a top-four finish to play for this term, after their FA Cup third round exit.

Old Trafford executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward remains convinced Moyes is the man to lead United long-term, irrespective of the on-field crisis.
