Manchester United have refused to deny the rumours according to local newspaper the Manchester Evening News.
Many of the reports also suggest that Ryan Giggs would be given the job on a temporary basis until the summer if Moyes was sacked.
Moyes backroom staff of Steve Round, Jimmy Lumsden and Phil Neville are all likely be sacked if Moyes is let go.
However, there may still be a place at the club for Chris Woods who has impressed as goalkeeping coach since arriving in the summer - David De Gea has been United's best player this season, albeit amid limited competition.
Moyes' Manchester United side were outwitted by former club Everton in a 2-0 defeat on Sunday and that appears to have been the final straw for United's board.
United are seventh in the Premier League table and that result ended their slim hopes of Champions League football next season.
After that match Moyes has challenged his players to restore some pride by winning their four remaining matches but he may not even get the chance to do that.
Moyes continues to paint a positive picture about the future, but he cannot hide from the statistics that show just how badly his first season at United has gone. United will end the season with their worst points total in Premier League history. They have failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in two decades.
And they will only guarantee Europa League football at Old Trafford next term if they overhaul the six-point gap that separates them from Tottenham.
All those facts make uneasy reading for Moyes and the United faithful, so the Scot wants to ease some of the pressure on his shoulders by taking maximum points from the final four games against Norwich, Sunderland, Hull and Southampton.
