Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left his position as Manchester United manager, the club have confirmed.
A humiliating 4-1 defeat to Watford on Saturday was the final straw for the club's owners, the Glazer family, with Solskjaer out amid a wretched run of five defeats in seven Premier League games.
The manner of the performance at Vicarage Road warranted fresh discussions between the club's owners, the Glazer family, and executive vice chairman Woodward on Saturday night. Chief negotiator Matt Judge was also involved in talks, which focused on compensation costs for the manager, as well as which of his staff would stay on at Old Trafford in the event of his dismissal.
