Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Manchester United after a disastrous first half to the Premier League season.
Mourinho has been in the firing line for months, and it seems that the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool was the nail in the coffin.
The club released a statement on their website which read:
Manchester United announces that manager Jose Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect.
The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future.
A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager.
