David Gill will have a big say on the appointment of David Moyes' successor at Manchester United.
The Daily Mail says Gill is to play a bigger part than expected in the hunt for a manager to replace the axed Moyes.
Gill, whose decision to step down as United CEO around the time that Sir Alex Ferguson retired did the club no favours, has purposely given his successor Ed Woodward space and played no role in the last two transfer windows, despite remaining on the football club board.
The search is being led by Woodward, rather than the owning Glazer family, and the executive vice-chairman recognises that Gill's extensive football knowledge has to be utilised, despite previous perceived tensions between them.
