Manchester United wasted no time in preparing for a new manager as they cleared out Jose Mourinho’s office just five minutes after his sack.

The Portuguese manager got the sack on Tuesday after United’s worst ever start to a Premier League season.

The official news was confirmed at 9:48am on December 18 before Jose Mourinho – who is set to receive a £22.5m payout, left Carrington within four hours after arriving.

According to The Sun, Jose’s office was cleared by United staffs within five minutes after he got the sack.

Mourinho received the news of his dismissal in a face-to-face meeting with executive vice chairman Ed Woodward.

MySportDab report his belongings, including pictures sat on the wall and trophies, were then shoved into boxes before being transported away.

A Sun source said: “The club were ruthless in the end. Just minutes after being sacked they were in there.

“It took just 15 minutes to consign Jose to history. They dumped all his stuff into a white transit van. He spoke briefly to some of the support staff but spent most of his time in office on the day.’
