Hi, I'm Leah and I'm at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
United on the day the world's biggest football club sacked their | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
manager. This is Newsround. So, fans have been turning up here | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
all day, some happy with the news, others a bit unsure about the future | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
of their club. What's the big deal? Managers get sacked from clubs all | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
the time. But not at Manchester United. This is a club that believe | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
in loyalty. The last time they sacked a manager was in 1986 and for | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
the last 20 years, they have been the best club in the country, with | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
fans around the world. Millions of fans. So where did it go wrong? Sir | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Alex Ferguson steps down after 26 years in charge. He says there is | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
only one man for the job, David Moyes. He gets his wish and he is | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
appointed manager, a new chapter in United's history begins. United win | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
their first game of the season and all is going smoothly until they | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
lose to West Brom at home. In January, they are knocked out of the | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
FA Cup in the third round. March and fans wonder if Moyes is the right | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
man for the job. Some go to extraordinary lengths to get their | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
message across. This month, Bayern Munich get the better of them in the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Champions League quarterfinals, their last chance of winning a | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
trophy is gone. United then lose 2-0 to Everton. Their 11th defeat of the | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
season. Manchester United announce that David Moyes has been sacked. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
So, if they do finish seventh, that will be their lowest ever finish in | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
the Premier League. It's got lots of you talking. We sent Martin to chat | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
to some fans at a school around the corner from the Theatre of Dreams. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
It was good that he's been sacked. He should have been given more time. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
You can understand why the pressure got too much. Some of the reactions | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
at this school. The school is right next to Old Trafford and some of the | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
kids that go here have supported Manchester United all their lives. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
United haven't sacked a manager for almost 30 years. With their worst | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Premier League performance ever, will the club be the force they once | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
were again? I don't think they will get better. They need to rebuild. | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
The time it takes to rebuild, the other teams will be better. As long | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
as they go easy. They need a manager to tell them. Here are some of the | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
kids' comments. It was the right decision, he was a let down to the | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
club. He has let me and the fans down. He has not won many games. The | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
teams feel let down. When you watch football, you like knowing there is | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
competition. This comment was from Jonathan. "He should have been given | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
until the end of the season." He is right. Ferguson had to build a team | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
and so did he. This season might be one to forget. These young fans are | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
hoping that whoever takes over full-time will get them back | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
fighting at the top. Joining us now are some of those | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
fans. Has the news sunk in yet? Well, I think it has for me. David | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
Moyes has been a bit of a - not a good manager for United. I hope we | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
can improve a lot now. You are happy today? Definitely. Thomas, who would | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
you like to see step into this job? I would like Mourinho from Chelsea. | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
He has had more experience at bigger clubs. OK. Interesting choice. To | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
shed some light on that, I'm joined by Katherine Downes. What does | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
happen next? They have given the job to Ryan Giggs at the moment. He will | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
be very popular with the fans and with the dressing room. What happens | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
after the season's finished? They will have to get in somebody to take | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
over full-time, it could be Ryan Giggs or it could be Louis Van Gaal, | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
or it could be Jurgen Klopp. Some are saying it could be Sir Alex | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Ferguson. Unlikely, but it would be a good story. Still some drama to | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
come from Old Trafford before we get that final appointment? Still plenty | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
more news to come. Thank you. That is all from me. I will be back in | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
the studio at 6.50pm where we will have a round-up of the day's other | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
news. In the meantime, head to the website. Bye for now. | :04:57. | :04:59. |
