Popular musician Ed Sheeran interrupted Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim yesterday during his post-match interview after the 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.
The Portuguese was not in the best mood after seeing the hosts frustrate the Red Devils in his first match as a Premier League manager, and he was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries after the pop star came over to greet Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp.
Man United fans were far from pleased with Sheeran, and he has now taken to social media platform Instagram to tender an apology to Amorim.
Sheeran is a part-owner at Ipswich after buying a minority stake (1.4%) in the club in August, but he was wrong to gatecrash the interview yesterday.
The new Man United boss was unimpressed and he has revealed that he will ask the Old Trafford club to limit requests from the media for interviews with him after he was unable to fully focus on training last week.
The Red Devils are back in action on Thursday when they host Bodoe/Glimt in the Europa League before hosting Everton in the Premier League on Sunday and travelling to Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal three days later.
Man United are in 12th place in the league table after four wins, four draws and four defeats in 12 games, while they are 15th in the 36-club Europa League table after a win and three draws in their opening four games of the league phase.
Their results have to improve significantly going forward if their season is to end well, and Amorim will be desperate to get the best out of his players in the coming games.
Finishing in the top-four and winning silverware at the end of 2024-25 will be huge for the 39-year-old, and fans will be hoping his reign starts on an impressive note.
