David Moyes sacked today, paid £4m in compensation

David Moyes will be sacked by Manchester United today, following a meeting of the Glazers.

After Moyes' resignation, Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt will take over as interim managers until the end of the season. Giggs is currently a player-assistant under Moyes. Butt is working with the reserve team.

The Glazers have sent Chief Executive Ed Woodward to work directly with Mr Moyes. Mr Moyes' contract with Man United is for 6 years, so he will be compensated 4 million pounds, which means a year's salary.

One of David Moyes' biggest mistakes when he first arrived at Man United was to completely change his assistants. Experienced assistants Mike Phelan and Rene Meulensteen were let go and replaced by Steve Round, Jimmy Lumsden and Phil Neville, and as it turned out, the backroom staff were ineffective and did not gain the trust of the players. When Moyes was sacked, the future of Chris Woods, the team's goalkeeping coach, was also uncertain.

Will Giggs succeed David Moyes?

United have not yet officially named a successor to Mr. Moyes. According to the British press, Juergen Klopp, the current coach of Dortmund, is the number 1 candidate because he has experience working with young players and is interested in long-term projects. In addition, Louis van Gaal and Diego Simeone are also candidates. Ryan Giggs is currently inexperienced so he will most likely only be an assistant. Carlo Ancelotti, the current coach of Real Madrid, is also named.

United's poor form this season means they could miss out on European football for the first time since 1982, despite the Glazers spending £150m on Moyes's transfer business. United are also in danger of becoming the worst-performing former champions since Blackburn Rovers finished seventh in 1996.

Mr. Moyes not only caused Man United to lose revenue from television copyright this season, but also made fans angry, directly affecting the number of season tickets sold for next season.

Mr. Moyes was chosen by Sir Alex Ferguson to succeed him, but up until now, when news of his dismissal has appeared frequently, Sir Alex has not given his opinion.
