Former Man United star 'SACKED as Lyon boss' after bizarrely suggesting the club should 'change the manager' to improve results after one point from their opening four games

A former Man United defender has been 'sacked as Lyon boss' after a torrid start to the season.

The French side sit bottom of Ligue 1 after taking just one point from their opening four games, which have included 4-1 losses to Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier.

It comes in stark contrast to a 2022/23 campaign that saw Lyon finish seventh and reach the Coupe de France semi finals.

According to reports in L'Equipe, Laurent Blanc, who enjoyed an illustrious playing career with United, Inter Milan and Barcelona, has now been dismissed by the club in response to the poor run of form.
