David Moyes

LONDON. — David Moyes has overseen a record-breaking season at Manchester United — but for all the wrong reasons.
Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Everton means that the defending champions cannot finish in the top four this season, the first time they have failed to qualify for the Champions League since 1995.
The result also gifted the Toffees their first league double over United since 1969-70.
