Everton manager David Moyes has stated that his Manchester United counterpart, Sir Alex Ferguson, will have no problems in the stands as he serves his two-match touchline ban.

Suspended for saying that referee Alan Wiley was 'unfit' to officiate his club’s match against Sunderland in October, Ferguson's punishment takes effect after his men clash with the Toffees on Saturday night.

But Moyes believes that such a ban will not make much difference to a man like his fellow Scot, who has a side that is unlikely to be perturbed by the lack of a manager on the touchline.

The 46-year-old told the Press Association: “It is important a manager gets the chance to be on the touchline if he wants so I do think it is significant if a manager is banned.

“But there are some managers who sit in the stands and are quite happy to do so.

“Sir Alex sits in his seat and can sit back and enjoy the game because he has got a really good team.

“I don't think it will be too big a hindrance to Alex. He's experienced and I'm sure he will be happy to sit in the stands.”
