Chaitanya Gupta:, external Any team playing with Rooney, Mata, Kagawa & Januzaj in attack & still losing was surely underachieving.

Yas:, external Seeing as Steve Round and Jimmy Lumsden have left can Moyes take Fellaini with him too

George Spooner:, external He had a bad season but I think it's unfair to sack him so soon. The players weren't playing well and that's not his fault.

"I said back in March on Final Score before the Bayern Munich game that if they had lost heavily that he would have gone and Ryan Giggs would have been in charge until the end of the season.

"I think it is right decision. What you can't legislate for is the champions being seventh. If they were third or fourth and playing attractive football, you could argue to give him more time."

Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp rules himself out of the Manchester United job, according to the Guardian., external

Here is a stat for you: David Moyes is the 35th managerial departure from an English league club this season. Will there be another before the end of the season?

BBC 5 live's Your Call is currently asking: Was David Moyes luckless or clueless?

People can call 0500 909 693, text 85058 or tweet @bbc5live to talk to Nicky Campbell, and a panel including fan Terry Christian, former Utd player Clayton Blackmore and football finance expert Tom Cannon.

Stuart: , externalDon't think he should have gone, they should have let him rebuild the squad in the summer

Dan Wilcox:, external Moyes surely won't complain, six year contract, out in 10months, five year compensation pay off!? He'll be rolling in it!

OptaJoe:, external 50% - David Moyes had the third best win rate (league games) of any Manchester United manager in history (P34 W17).

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke on Sky Sports: "There was a lot of expectation - it was a big change. What we never would have envisaged is the standard of performances and the style of play. It's been a huge disappointment not to be involved in the race for the Premier League title, to get knocked out of the Champions League and to be out of the race for a place in next season's Champions League. The players are equally to blame."

Listen to BBC Radio 5 live right now - there is a special Your Call programme on the David Moyes sacking.

Tom in London, via text on 81111: Strange decision with only a handful of games to go, but I can't be the only one thinking "head says stay, heart says go". He has lost the dressing room and that was always going to be hard to come back from. Looking forward, Klopp would be excellent for United and the Premier League.

Doug in Fife, via text on 81111: Which Man Utd players would get into Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool? Rooney maybe. Van Persie when he turns up. That's it. Man Utd were supposed to be different. I'm done supporting them.

Former Manchester United right-back Gary Neville on Sky Sports:

"There is no disguising the football and results have been poor. As a fan, I've not enjoyed watching the team and I'm sure David Moyes hasn't either and nor have the fans. Performances have got worse.

"The players have to take massive responsibility. They are the ones on the football pitch. Those players are not as bad as they have been showing. They look like they have lost confidence and belief."

Andy Mitten, editor of Manchester United fanzine 'United We Stand', on the BBC News Channel: "I don't think there will be many United fans who are too upset by the decision. They know he is a good man, a good football manager, but he wasn't the right manager for Manchester United."

Tom Fowdy:, external Moyes failed to capitalise upon the world renowned name & prestige of #mufc and squandered unnecessary millions on panic buys

Frazer Shields:, external It's a transition phase, so why sack him this late & only into one season? Fergie had one bad one but look what happened there

Manchester United assistant Steve Round and first-team coach Jimmy Lumsden have also left their posts with player-coach Ryan Giggs to take charge in the interim.

The football world does not wallow in the past for long. So who will take over from Moyes?

Here is a list of potential candidates:

Jurgen Klopp - manager of Borussia Dortmund. Led the German club to two Bundesliga titles and the final of the Champions League last season. His team play quick tempo and attractive football, while he has endeared himself to the media with eccentric qualities.

Louis van Gaal - The Netherlands coach will be available after the World Cup. He has won league titles with Barcelona, Ajax and Bayern Munich.

Diego Simeone - The Argentine has been a revelation at Atletico Madrid - a tough team that plays quality football. They lead La Liga but will they lose their leader?

Where will the prophetic 'Grim Reaper of Goodison Park' show up next? The 2-0 defeat at former club Everton proved to be David Moyes's last game in charge of the Manchester United.

This is what he said after the match:

"I think that everybody knows we are on track to make changes and do some different things. We are rebuilding.

"I understand it has not been good, I recognise it has not been good and it needs to be better."

Well, he will now not be taking part in the rebuilding. So who will?

Dave Prince: , externalDaft decision by Utd. Moyes had inherited the worst Utd squad in memory, how Ferguson managed to win last year is beyond me.

Scotty G:, external It's Outrageous.. You hand a man a 6 year contract and you sack him less then a year later. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Stuart:, external Right decision unfortunately seemed out of depth & said wrong things to the media.

Here is how Manchester United broke the news on Twitter:

Man Utd:, external Manchester United announces that David Moyes has left the club. The club would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role.
