The Scot has been shown the door just ten months after being appointed as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor.
There had been widespread speculation on Monday that Moyes was facing the axefollowing the defeat at Everton, United's 11th of a miserable Premier Leagueseason.
A statement from United read: "Manchester United has announced that David Moyes has left the club.
"The club would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role."
Ryan Giggs will take charge of first-team affairs for the final four games of the campaign.
Louis van Gaal is the frontrunner to succeed Moyes on a long-term basis.
Moyes was handed a six-year contract last summer but he endured a disastrous spell.
Under the Scot, United have lost six league games at Old Trafford, been humbled in the FA Cup by Swansea and were unable to prevent lowly Sunderland knocking them out of the Capital One Cup in the semi-finals.
Having been champions last season, United are currently sitting seventh in the Premier League and will record their lowest points tally.
