Here's a look at some of the reaction on Twitter in the aftermath of the 50-year-old's departure from Old Trafford.

Michael Owen @themichaelowen: Huge news at Old Trafford but with the summer looming and a huge transfer kitty available, United had to be 100% Moyes was the right man. Evidently they didn't have the confidence in him in which case makes the timing absolutely right. Now the big question is who's next?
Gary Lineker @GaryLineker: Wish David Moyes all the very best. He's a good man and a good manager, just not the right fit for Manchester United.
Joseph Barton @Joey7Barton: Still think Moyes is a good manager. Maybe too much too soon Fergie was always a tough act to follow. Surely Van Gaal is the logical choice?
Pierre van Hooijdonk @pierrevh17: David Moyes sacked by #ManUnited . Are they also sacking the ones responsible for giving him a 6 year contract??!! #payofftime
sportingintelligence @sportingintel: Pellegrini now the 10th longest serving current manager in the Premier League. At 302 days.
Jake Humphrey @mrjakehumphrey: Exactly one year ago today Manchester United were crowned Champions...
The last Soulja(TM) @i_tunnes: David Moyes is shortest serving manager of Manchester United since 1927. Another record #MUFC"
