Michael Carrick has been sacked as Manchester United manager after just 15 games in charge, despite initially being handed a two-year deal.
Carrick's departure follows a turbulent spell at Old Trafford, with United recording inconsistent results and struggling to maintain their performances.
United's decision came after a run of three matches in which they recorded one win, one draw and one defeat.
They lost 2-0 to Chelsea, bounced back with a 3-2 comeback win over Roma in the Champions League before drawing 4-4 with Aston Villa.
The draw against Villa saw United recover from a two-goal deficit, with Patrick Dorgu scoring an equaliser in stoppage time.
Carrick had also faced mounting pressure following a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, although the club initially decided to stand by him.
Despite the late fightback against Villa, United ultimately decided Carrick was not the right man to continue leading the team.
