He was appointed as a set-piece guru - however with United struggling this season and looking to make changes in all departments his departure was seen as inevitable.
Insiders suggest one of the reasons for his departure is that responsibility for dead-ball situations was taken away from him by
Georgson arrived from Norwegian side Lillestrom, where he was head coach.
But with the club finishing a disappointing 15th in the league and failing to secure European football, it is clear that changes were necessary.

Sarah Healy digs deep to claim Diamond League victory
Sarah Healy produced a superb final lap to win the women's 1500m at the Rome Diamond League meeting to continue her fine form in 2025. The Dublin athlete, who opened her outdoor season with a 3000m PB and a third-placed finish at the Rabat leg a fortnight ago, found herself well down the standings after a particuarly fast opening lap but managed to haul herself back onto the edge of the leading pack as the bell rang. Kenya's Susan Ejore was the first to kick for home, but she was reeled in and finished fifth with Healy and Australia's Sarah Billings coming on strong as the line approached at Stadio Olimpico. Billings managed to overtake Healy on the final bend with fellow Australian Abbey Caldwell also finding a great kick, but European indoor champion Healy dug incredibly deep in the final 50 metres to edge home in a season best time of 3:59.17 with Billings finishing in 3:59.24 and Caldwell 3:59.32, the latter two PBs.

Ireland 1 Senegal 1: As it happened
Live | Ultan Corcoran Ireland take on the might of Senegal in a friendly at the Aviva Stadium this evening (kick-off 7.45pm). Heimir Hallgrimsson's side face an African nation unbeaten in their last 20 games – a tough challenge in preparation for the big World Cup qualifications to come later this year. Catch all the action as it happens here. Ismaila Sarr 83' Kasey McAteer 22' Full-time: Ireland-Senegal end in stalemate! The Swedish arbiter sensibly blows the final whistle after Senegal's free-kick attempt cracks off the Irish wall before Adam Idah clears the danger. Senegal unleashed the big guns after the hour mark and that swung momentum back in the visitors favour. A draw was probably a fair result in the end. Kasey McAteer has been named as the player of the match. 90' Into the final minute of regular time at Lansdowne Road and Killian Phillips is adjudged to have fouled Habib Diarra on the edge of the box. This is prime free-kick territory for Senegal. There will be an additional 3 minutes of injury time to play. 85' Ireland avail of the extra substitutions in this friendly fixture as a weary Brady is replaced by Celtic's Liam Scales. Meanwhile, Senegal have introduced El Hadji Malick Diouf. 83' Goal Senegal Scorer Ismaila Sarr Assist Cherif Ndiaye GOAL! Well... Senegal are unbeaten in 20 games and this proves why! Iliman Ndiaye skips through a lazy tackle with his twinking feet to cross low into the box. The delivery is deflected and Cherif Ndiaye draws a boot on it. It looks like Kelleher got a toe to it, but Ismaila Sarr was first to react as he hammered in the rebound. 82' Substitution Ireland Substituted out Kasey McAteer Substituted in Andrew Moran Ireland's goalscorer McAteer makes way to a standing ovation - the Leicester City man ran his legs off tonight. Andrew Moran takes his place. Meanwhile Will Smallbone is replaced by Festy Ebosele. 80' Brilliant defending from Killian Phillips as he applies pressure to Antoine Mendy and blocks the attempted cross. Robbie Brady clears the Irish lines. Heimir Hallgrimsson is weighing up another double substitution. 77' Substitution Senegal Substituted out Boulaye Dia Substituted in Cherif Ndiaye Senegal introduce two new faces as striker Cherif Ndiaye and FC Metz midfielder Cheikh Sabaly replace Boulaye Dia and Ilay Camara. 74' Another corner for Senegal doesn't pose much threat. Ismaila Sarr's delivery falls to the edge of the box where former FC Koln full-back Ismail Jakobs takes a wild swing at it. The ironic jeers ring out around Lansdowne Road once again! 70' Scoring Chance Senegal Player Ismaila Sarr OFF THE POST! That was a scare for Kelleher and the Irish rearguard. The ball was recycled by Iliman Ndiaye to Lamine Camara who unleashed a shot. The substitute's effort deflected into Ismaila Sarr's path who was caught unawares as the ball clipped off his shin and onto the left upright. 68' Substitution Ireland Substituted out Ryan Manning Substituted in Jake O'Brien Everton defender Jake O'Brien takes over from Ryan Manning, meanwhile there's a senior Irish debut in the making as Killian Phillips replaces Matt Doherty on the right. 65' Substitution Senegal Substituted out Krepin Diatta Substituted in Lamine Camara Senegal make their first alteration as the talented Camara, a 21-year-old playing for AS Monaco in France, is thrust into midfield for Krepin Diatta. Fleet-footed Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr takes over from Abdullah Sima on the right flank. 59' Substitution Ireland Substituted out Jack Taylor Substituted in Evan Ferguson Heimir Hallgrimsson makes his first change of the night as Jack Taylor receives a big round of applause leaving the field. Arguably an even bigger roar goes up as Evan Ferguson trots on to join Adam Idah up front. 58' Corner to Senegal as Boulaye Dia sets his sights on goal only for Dara O'Shea to make a brave block. Nathan Collins is fouled seconds later. 56' Dan McDonnell has a couple of rowdy spectators in front of him at Lansdowne Road: "There's more Seagulls at the Aviva than you'd find at the Carlisle Grounds on an average Friday night. A slight distraction on the press box side of the ground as they are everywhere." 52' Decent intent from Senegal - Everton's talented winger Iliman Ndiaye creates some space but can't quite dig out the cross as Dara O'Shea cuts him off. 48' Scoring Chance Ireland Player Will Smallbone Huge chance! Will Smallbone is slipped through on the edge of the box, takes a touch to get it out of his feet, and blasts truth, it's a poor shot and a nice height for Yehvann Diouf who parried it away. Ryan Manning almost sweeps home the rebound but for a brilliant block from Antoine Mendy. The resulting corner comes to nothing.
