Manchester United Manager Ruben Amorim Sacked

News Update

Manchester United have sacked Ruben Amorim as manager, 14 months after he was appointed.

A Club’s statement on Monday confirmed that the manager was relieved of his duties following poor run of form.

The statement read “Ruben Amorim has departed his role as head coach of Manchester United.

“Ruben was appointed in November, 2024 and led the team to a UEFA Europa League Final in Bilbao in May.

“With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club’s leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.

“The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future.”

Darren Fletcher will take charge of the team against Burnley on Wednesday.
