(CNN) -- Manchester United finally lost patience with manager David Moyes Tuesday after a disastrous first season in charge of the English Premier League champions. "Manchester United announces that David Moyes has left the club," said the English Premier League team in a statement on the club's official Twitter feed. "The club would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role." Moyes succeeded Alex Ferguson last May but has overseen a lackluster campaign, with the club lying seventh in the table having amassed 57 points from 34 games. United slipped to an 11th league defeat this season against the Scot's former club Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday -- a result that finally ended any mathematical chance of participating in next season's Champions League.
