And with relegation a near certainty, The Mirror claims McInnes and Mowbray are among the contenders.

McInnes, 46, played for Albion from 2000-03 and has since been building his reputation as a boss.

The Aberdeen chief has been in his current post since 2013 and is highly regarded north of the border.

Mowbray, 54, managed the Baggies from 2006-09 before joining Celtic following relegation from the Premier League.

In the previous season, he won the Championship and also steered the club into an FA Cup semi-final.

The veteran boss is currently chasing promotion with high-flying Blackburn.

After the win over United made it four points from two games, Moore explained: "I'm really not focusing on the position in the league.

"Honestly, all we're focusing on is the next game. Last week against Swansea was a positive performance and result.

"We've come here and added to that. We just take one game at a time. I know it's an old cliche but it really is that.

"We've come up against a very good team who asked a lot of questions of us.

"But everyone stuck to their job and did everything we asked of them in preparation for the game."
