David Moyes has been sacked by Manchester United with immediate effect.
Chief executive Ed Woodward arrived at Carrington at 8am on Tuesday morning to inform the Scot face-to-face of the news.
Moyes
had already been informed of his fate and thanked club staff at the
training complex in anticipation of his departure. The players were not
present at the time.
A
tweet on the club's official Twitter account read: 'BREAKING: Manchester
United announces that David Moyes has left the club. The club would
like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and
integrity he brought to the role.'
Ryan Giggs will take temporary charge for the rest of the season as interim manager.
It
emerged on Monday that United's owners, the Glazer family, had lost
patience with Moyes after a dismal season that has seen the reigning
Barclays Premier League champions slump to seventh in the table.
The
final straw was Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Everton, their 11th in the
Barclays Premier League this season, and a result that left the title
holders 13 points off the Champions League places.
