Jose Mourinho has been fired as manager of Manchester United.

United is experiencing their worst start to a season in 28 years as they are 19 points off first place.

The club took into account Mourinho’s transfer spend of around £400 million on 11 players who, it is understood, the club insist were all his choice.

Mourinho was also not adhering to the core attacking values of the club.

The compensation due to Mourinho will be no more than £15 million.

Michael Carrick will take charge of training on Tuesday, before an interim manager is appointed.
