BREAKING: Manchester United manager David Moyes has been sacked, only 10 months after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford. Moyes, 50, was chosen by Ferguson as the man to succeed him when he retired after 26 years in charge last summer. In a statement the club said it would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he (Moyes) brought to the role. Player-coach Ryan Giggs is expected to take charge of Uniteds next game at home against Norwich on Saturday. United, who currently lie seventh in the table with four games remaining, are guaranteed to record their lowest ever points tally in the Premier League having struggled at Old Trafford in particular. Under Moyes, they have lost six league games at home, been beaten in the FA Cup by Swansea at Old Trafford and were unable to prevent Sunderland knocking them out of the Capital One Cup in the semi-finals. In March, some supporters chartered a plane to fly overhead trailing a banner with the words Wrong One - Moyes Out - a reference to the banner at Old Trafford that proclaimed Moyes to be the Chosen One - during the Premier League win over Aston Villa. Defeat against Everton confirmed club will miss out on Champions League for first time since 1995 and are in danger of missing out on European competition altogether for the first time since 1990- BBC.
