How Twitter saw Moyes' sacking

David Moyes was sacked by Manchester United on Tuesday less than 10 months after replacing Sir Alex Ferguson as manager.

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

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?

Wish David Moyes all the very best. He's a good man and a good manager, just not the right fit for Manchester United.

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?
