Sacked Manchester United boss David Moyes 'furious and disgusted' with the club

The Scot was obliviously working on potential summer transfers on Monday afternoon as reports that he was doomed flooded the internet.

David Moyes is ‘furious and disgusted’ about the manner of his sacking by Manchester United.

Moyes was left in the dark about his imminent departure on Monday, despite the news breaking on Twitter and subsequently flooding the internet.

The Scot, who was in charge at Old Traford for only 348 days, is angry with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and other club officials, who did not keep him informed of his fate.

Mirror Sport can reveal Moyes was so unaware that he was about to be fired that he worked on FOUR deals for new players on the day it was made known he was departing.

As the news frenzy became overwhelming, Moyes spoke to allies in the game in the afternoon and early evening of Monday and was confident he still had Woodward's support.

The now-departed manager thought he was safe and was pressing for an answer from Luke Shaw’s camp about a £27million move from Southampton to the Old Trafford giants.

Moyes and his team had been at Southampton’s game against Aston Villa on Saturday and were working on persuading the young England left-back to be part of his summer overhaul.

A deal for Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos was also being worked on during Black Monday and Moyes was also looking to sort out the futures of United youngsters Wilfried Zaha and Nick Powell, who are out on loan at Cardiff and Wigan respectively.

The former Everton boss was left disgusted as he found out how the outgoing Premier League champions had already decided to sack him without telling him.

Insiders have revealed Moyes was seething when he heard from Woodward - and that was before discussions over his pay-off.

The 50-year-old called in Richard Bevan, head of the managers' union the LMA, to make sure United pay what is due to him, which may be a year’s money at around £5million.

Moyes is seen as having a strong sense of ethics, and refused to speak to Everton before they had sacked their then-boss Walter Smith.

Instead, then-Preston manager Moyes waited for Smith - a man he admired - to be told he was going before meeting Bill Kenwright.
