David Moyes' future as Sunderland manager remains uncertain following talks with his bosses, according to Sky sources.

The 54-year-old met with Black Cats owner Ellis Short and chief executive Martin Bain in London over the Bank Holiday weekend for a scheduled catch-up following the club's relegation from the Premier League.

Moyes, who only joined the Wearsiders on a four-year deal last July, remains undecided whether he will continue as manager in the Sky Bet Championship next season, with a large-scale rebuilding job needed.

Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth saw Sunderland return to the Championship for the first time in a decade.

Sunderland still have four games remaining in the current campaign and face Hull and Swansea - who are both fighting relegation - in the next two weeks, before final fixtures against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Moyes has been given extra time to respond to a Football Association charge over the "slap" comments he made to a female journalist.

Moyes was given until 6pm on Wednesday to make representations when he was charged with bringing the game into disrepute last week.
