Official: Man Utd appoint new manager after sacking Ruben Amorim

Manchester United have officially parted ways with head coach Ruben Amorim, ending the Portuguese manager’s 14-month spell at Old Trafford.

The club confirmed the decision on Tuesday morning, just hours after Amorim delivered a tense and confrontational press conference that appeared to hint at internal unrest. While United did not disclose the specific reasons behind the dismissal, the move brings a sudden end to a tenure marked by inconsistency and growing pressure.

In a swift response, Darren Fletcher has been appointed as interim head coach. The former Manchester United midfielder will take charge of the team for their Premier League fixture against Burnley on Wednesday.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the development, stating, “Darren Fletcher takes over Manchester United on an interim basis after Rúben Amorim is sacked.”

Fletcher, who previously served as United’s technical director and has remained part of the club’s backroom structure, now steps into the dugout at a critical moment in the season.

His immediate task will be to stabilise the squad and restore confidence while the club assesses long-term managerial options.
