The 62-year-old Everton boss witnessed their local rivals completely torn apart by City in Saturday’s 4-0 loss at the Etihad.
Perhaps coincidentally, the trip to Manchester coincided with Everton’s ongoing talks over signing Jack Grealish this summer.
But it is not only Grealish who Everton are believed to be eyeing from Pep Guardiola’s squad this season.
It has been suggested that Everton are interested in Rico Lewis, but the youngster was not in the squad at the weekend.
What potential conversations were had on Saturday remain unknown, with Moyes at least coming away with optimism of getting a result in the Merseyside Derby.
