Manager David Moyes has parted company with Manchester United, the club has announced via Twitter.

“Manchester United announces that David Moyes has left the club,” United said on Tuesday.

“The club would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role.”

News of Moyes’ exit comes a day after widespread reports in the British media that he was facing the sack, just 10 months after succeeding Alex Ferguson as manager of the world-famous club.

The 50-year-old Scot endured a torrid debut campaign at Old Trafford, with United falling to seventh place in the Premier League and being eliminated from both domestic cup competitions and the Champions League.
