English Premier League (EPL) club, Manchester United, have sack Mr Ruben Amorin as Manager, a day after leading the team to a 1-1 draw at Elland Road.
The Old Trafford outfit currently sits sixth on the league table with 31 points, same with Chelsea, which also played one apiece at the blue end of Manchester on Sunday, though leading with goal difference.
In a statement on Monday morning, the red side of Manchester said the Portuguese coach “has departed his role as Head Coach of Manchester United.”
It was disclosed that the club’s leadership “reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change,” after the manager has struggled to impress.
The club noted that the exit of Mr Amorim, who was appointed in November 2024 and led the team to a UEFA Europa League Final in Bilbao in May, “will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.”
For the next league match with Burnley fixed for this Wednesday, a former player of Manchester United, Mr Darren Fletcher, “will take charge of the team,” according to the statement.
Manchester United thanked Mr Amorim “for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future.”
