David Moyes would return to the Premier League if he was offered the chance to manage Aston Villa, writes Steve Bates in our sister title the Sunday People .

Former Manchester United and Everton chief Moyes is currently in La Liga managing Real Sociedad – but he made no secret of his desire to return to English football when the time is right.

And after turning down overtures from Sunderland last summer it is believed he would jump at the chance to take charge at Villa – if the Midlands club decide to ditch Tim Sherwood.

Sherwood is under pressure after a poor start to the season and American owner Randy Lerner is running out of patience.

If he does decide to axe Sherwood, Moyes has told close friends Villa is a job that would immediately tempt him from Spain.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has no interest in the Villa job despite being on Lerner’s hitlist.

The 42-year-old, sacked by Liverpool a fortnight ago, has told pals he will take the rest of the season off to consider his options.
