Moyes, who was sacked by the Red Devils last month, was in The Emporium wine bar and restaurant in Clitheroe with another man on Wednesday evening.

“Police are investigating a report of an assault at the Emporium wine bar in Clitheroe,” Lancashire Constabulary said in a statement today.

“Officers attended the bar at about 10pm on Wednesday and it was reported that a 23-year-old local man had been assaulted by a 51-year-old man. He did not require hospital treatment.

“Inquiries are ongoing and we are speaking to a number of people to try to establish the circumstances.

“There are a number of differing accounts which we need to work through to try to establish exactly what has happened. No-one has been arrested at this stage.”

Police are examining CCTV footage from the bar and speaking to people who were in there at the time.

The Clitheroe Advertiser reported that Moyes was having a drink with a friend when an “alleged minor scuffle” broke out in the bar.

Moyes was among several names linked with the vacant Celtic managerial position after Neil Lennon stepped down today as boss of the Scottish champions.

Last month he was sacked by Manchester United after a disappointing Premier League campaign.

He has formerly managed Everton and Preston North End, and played as a centre half for a number of clubs including Celtic.

A spokesman for the Emporium said: “There was an incident outside the building. However, it did not affect any of our customers or staff and has been dealt with by the police.”
