0:00.0	Well, hello, hello, and welcome to a special edition of ESPN FC live and oh, was this ever needed?
0:07.4	Tons to unpack because of the breaking news that just hit that Manchester United and Errikton HAG are no more after two years in charge and
0:16.2	two trophies domestic trophies.
0:18.4	Man United have decided that they are going to take a different direction and
0:22.4	have been a due to the Dutchman. So I had to get the whole crew on board Rob Dawson and Mark Ogden as usual for anything Manchester and James Ollie as well. so much to talk about in this now we're gonna unpack it all and eventually get to the discussion that is who on earth comes in next but Rob let me start with you and just find out exactly the last 24 hours how Man United decided to get to this decision.
