Jose Mourinho axed by Manchester United - and he'll get £22.5m payout

Jose Mourinho has left the Lowry hotel for one final time after being SACKED by Manchester United after a disastrous first half to the Premier League season.

The Portuguese manager was given the axe on Tuesday morning and later that afternoon was seen driving away from the Lowry - his place of residence throughout his time in charge of the English giants.

When asked how he was doing, Mourinho replied: 'OK, my friend,' as he allowed photographs being taken of him before he was driven away in a Jaguar F-PACE.
