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.
