Many Everton and Manchester United fans believe time is up for David Moyes but nobody invited the Grim Reaper to Goodison Park.

Yet one fan dressed in a black cloak complete with an inflatable scythe and a wicked sense of humour turned up for the Scot's return to Merseyside.

'Death' then appeared to haunt the under-fire manager throughout the opening 20 minutes of the match before being chucked out by stewards.

At first many believed the man behind the mask to be an Everton fan, but others speculated a Paddy Power logo could be seen on his shirt, prompting rumours it was a publicity stunt.

It's not the first time Moyes has been heckled by a Grim Reaper this season as the same happened during the club's Champions League tie against Olympiakos.

The betting company then confirmed the rumours on its website.

A statement said: "Paddy Power sent their very own Grim Reaper into Goodison Park this afternoon, sitting just a stone’s throw away from the troubled United manager.

"Paddy Power’s Grim Reaper, the black-cloaked, scythe-wielding personification of when your time is up, signalled what many United fans – and the bean-counters at Old Trafford - are thinking."

Dressing up as Death proved to be effective in the first half as Everton lead Manchester United 2-0.
