The former Manchester United midfielder took over managerial duties at the Club from Portuguese manager, Ruben Amorim, who also struggled at Old Trafford after joining from Sporting CP, Liga Portugal side.

After a below-expectation outcome, the Club made the decision to remove the Englishman as manager and begin looking for a replacement.

In a statement, Manchester United said: “Michael is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend. Just as he did as a player, he has conducted himself with the highest standards of dedication and professionalism throughout his time back with the club.

“His leadership and achievements last season will always be fondly remembered.”
