As Manchester United's new dawn began with a thumping opening victory for Ryan Giggs, former boss David Moyes chose to escape with a sunshine break to the Sunshine State.
The day after United thrashed Norwich City at Old Trafford, Moyes - sacked as manager on Tuesday, was pictured on Miami Beach as he tried to put a dismal week behind him.
The Scot doesn't seem to be able to leave it all behind, however, as he was snapped checking his phone in Florida - is he in the running for any managerial jobs, we wonder?
Moyes was also pictured in the airport in Miami and in a restaurant with his wife Pamela, but again he could not resist checking his phone.
It is believed that he has reached a financial settlement with United, thought to be around £7million.
A statement for the League Managers Association said: 'The LMA and Manchester United are pleased to confirm that terms of settlement have been agreed between the Club and David Moyes in respect of the termination of his employment.
'A settlement agreement is in the process of being finalised. No further comment will be made in relation to this issue.'
There have been allegations of players mocking Moyes behind his back in his later months of Old Trafford, and he did not thank them in his own LMA statement.
Part of it read: 'In my short time at the club I have learnt what special places Old Trafford and Carrington are. I would like to thank the United staff for making me feel so welcome and part of the United family from my first day. And of course thank you to those fans who have supported me throughout the season. I wish you and the club all the best for the future.'
Sir Alex Ferguson, the man who hand picked Moyes to succeed him at United, has also spoken out about the departure, claiming it was 'upsetting the way it came out.'
Louis van Gaal is the favourite to take over from Moyes on a permanent basis.
