Manchester United have parted ways with Jose Mourinho, the club has confirmed.

It had been expected the club would make a move following United’s harrowing defeat at the hands of Liverpool but nobody would have imagined it would end this way.

As of now Michael Carrick will take over and will oversee the senior team activities on an interim basis until the Red Devils appoint a caretaker manager. United have had the worst start to their season and after 17 games they are currently struggling in the sixth place.

Mourinho’s sour relationship with some of the players including Paul Pogba hadn’t gone down pretty well and it could be another reason behind his downfall.

The club issues a official statement : 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.
