David Moyes has been sacked as Manchester United boss and Ryan Giggs will take over until the end of the season.
"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.
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.
