Manchester United have sacked manager Jose Mourinho

The club said he had left with immediate effect, adding they “would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future”.

The Red Devils currently sit sixth in the Premier League table but have already lost five times in 17 matches, leaving them 19 points behind leaders Liverpooland 11 off fourth-placed Chelsea in the fight for Champions League places.

That follows a summer transfer window in which Mourinho routinely complained at a lack of signings, with the Portuguese unable to persuade the club’s hierarchy to sign a new centre-back

A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club searches for a new full-time manager
