Finally the inevitable has come to pass and Jose Mourinho is no longer manager of Manchester United. For United fans, it had been coming down the line for a while, with a series of uninspiring performances culminating with a depressing 3-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, which leaves the club 19 points off of their bitter rivals, but perhaps more pertinently 11 points outside of fourth place.
For rival supporters, Mourinho's exit is tinged with sadness, with the slow realisation that things will probably get better from here for one of England's most decorated clubs.
The sacking has however led to some very funny memes, as pretty much anyone with a link to the club gets touted as the next man for the job. Here are some of the best memes from Jose's sacking.
This one was inevitable
