Man United sack Amorim, appoint Darren Fletcher as interim manager

Manchester United, on Monday, confirmed that Head Coach Ruben Amorim has left his position with immediate effect.

Amorim, who was appointed in November 2024, guided the team to a UEFA Europa League Final appearance in Bilbao just last May.

Despite reaching a European final, the club’s leadership has made the difficult decision to part ways with the Portuguese manager. A statement from the club indicated that with Manchester United currently sitting sixth in the Premier League, the change has been made to “give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.”

The club expressed its gratitude to Amorim for his contributions during his tenure and extended best wishes for his future endeavours.

First-team coach Darren Fletcher will assume interim charge of the squad for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Burnley on Wednesday.
