Man United have confirmed that Jose Mourinho has left the club.
A statement released minutes ago reads:
"Manchester United announces that manager Jose Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect.
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."
Mourinho had come under increasing pressure, with the side nineteen points behind league leaders Liverpool, although he maintained he could get the club into the top four.
