Manchester United has announced that Jose Mourinho has left his role as manager.
The club said that the Portuguese has left “with immediate effect”.
It comes two days after United’s 3-1 loss to arch-rivals Liverpool.
That defeat has left them 19 points off the Premier League leaders.
A statement from United this morning said: “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.”
