Manchester United fans' spokesman Sean Bones has attacked the manner of David Moyes' sacking this morning. News of Moyes' imminent departure was leaked by a number of journalists on Monday afternoon, and the club confirmed the end of his 10-month tenure this morning.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Bones said: "Obviously it is wrong to brief journalists the day before and not speak to the manager himself.

"Manchester United has a lot of style and class and we don't do things that way and to me this is typical behaviour of the Glazer family. We do things with style, class and dignity.

"I'm not saying he should have stayed in the job. It was a risky decision when they appointed him as he was not proven at the highest level.

"But that decision was ultimately down to the Glazer family. They may have spoken to Sir Alex and other people within the club but if it was the wrong decision it was the Glazer family's decision."
