David Moyes has been sacked as Manchester United boss as Ryan Giggs takes over for the rest of the season
The manager learned his fate at the club's
training ground this morning with United legend
Ryan Giggs taking over temporarily.
A statement on the club's website said:
"Manchester United has announced 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."
Moyes was informed of the decision this morning
at the club's Carrington training ground, said
Sky News' Paul Kelso.
Manchester United veteran Giggs will take the
reins for the remaining games
Chief executive Ed Woodward is said to have told
Moyes the news face to face.
Speculation over his sacking started yesterday,
after United's 2-0 weekend defeat to Moyes'
former club Everton.
The result left them in seventh and meant it was
mathematically impossible for the Premier
League champions to qualify for next season's
Champions League.
manchester united's dismal perfomance
The team have lost 11 times this season, six of
them at home, and also endured defeats to
bitter rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.
There has reportedly been discontent among
some of the club's top players during Moyes'
brief time at Old Trafford.
Moyes was handpicked by Sir Alex Ferguson after
11 successful years at Everton where he guided
the team to five top-six finishes.
