Ryan Giggs has been placed in interim charge of
Manchester United after David Moyes left the club on Tuesday.
United legend Giggs, who was part of Moyes' backroom
staff in a player-coach capacity, will oversee United's first-team affairs on a
temporary basis until a permanent successor is found.
A club statement read: "Following the departure of
David Moyes as manager, Manchester United has announced that Ryan Giggs, the
club's most decorated player, will assume responsibility for the first team
until a permanent appointment can be made."
Moyes' reign at Old Trafford came to an end less than 12
months into his six-year contract following Sunday's 2-0 defeat at the Scot's
former club Everton, a result that guaranteed reigning English champions United
cannot qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League.
His departure was announced via the club's official
Twitter account, with United thanking Moyes for his "hard work, honesty
and integrity" during his short tenure.
United sit seventh in the Premier League with four
matches remaining, 23 points adrift of leaders Liverpool.
