Louis van Gaal was sacked as Manchester United boss because his side played poor quality football this season.
United scored just 49 league goals and were criticised for the lack of attacking play as they finished fifth in the Premier League table.
Dutchman Van Gaal, 64, said he was "very disappointed" to leave, but said "the foundations are firmly in place" to "achieve even greater success".
Jose Mourinho is expected to be named as his successor this week.
The former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan boss is due to hold talks with senior United officials on Tuesday.
BBC Sport reported on Saturday that United's FA Cup win over Crystal Palace would be Van Gaal's last game as boss.
United finished fourth and fifth in the Premier League in his two seasons in charge, missing out on Champions League qualification this term to Manchester City.
