Manchester United have sacked Ruben Amorim 14 months after the Portuguese assumed the mantle of manager at Old Trafford.
Amorim’s reign ended with a 1-1 draw against Leeds United on Sunday, leaving them sixth in the Premier League after 20 games.
Former midfielder and current Under-18s coach Darren Fletcher will take over on a temporary basis, with his first game away to Burnley on Wednesday night.
