Despite an encouraging midweek draw against Bayern Munich, Moyes remains far from secure in his role and even senior figures at the club have no idea whether the Glazer family will keep the Scot as manager beyond the end of the season.
Sir Alex Ferguson will have no say in Moyes' future, despite hand-picking his replacement last summer, while executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will also have little influence on the final decision of United’s American owners.
The former manager and Woodward are both understood to believe that Moyes deserves to be backed by the club having signed a six-year contract when he joined from Everton last year - but both are in the dark as to the Glazers' intentions.
Goal revealed last week that the United board are 'evaluating possibilities' regarding a potential successor for Moyes in the summer.
But the decision will rest solely with the Glazers, who have given no indication of their thoughts on the matter even to the likes of Sir Alex and Woodward - although it is understood they are deeply unhappy with results this season.
The Glazers are ready to spend around £150 million in the summer transfer window to improve the squad - but there are significant questions over whether they will trust Moyes with the money.
Moyes spent £27.5m on Marouane Fellaini, who has been a huge disappointment, while he is yet to get the best out of club-record signing Juan Mata over a prolonged period of time.
There are also concerns with the poor playing style, while Moyes has never won a major trophy during his managerial career.
