Manchester United announced on Monday morning the dismissal of their 40-year-old coach, Ruben Amorim, after 14 months at the helm of the team.
The decision came after the team's 1-1 draw against Leeds United, and with Manchester United trailing league leaders Arsenal by 17 points.
The team had also secured only one victory in their last five matches during December, a period that also saw Amorim direct strong criticism at the club's board regarding the winter transfer market.
Former Manchester United player and current youth team coach, Darren Fletcher, is expected to take over as interim manager.
