“Inquiries are ongoing and we are speaking to a number of people to try to establish the circumstances.

“There are a number of differing accounts, which we need to work through to try to establish exactly what has happened. No one has been arrested at this stage.”

Police are examining CCTV footage from the bar and speaking to people who were in there at the time.

Moyes, 51, was sacked by United last month after the team finished seventh in the Premier League.
