According to reports, Manchester United have ‘sacked’ Ruben Amorim, who has been ‘informed of the decision’ following the draw against Leeds United.
Amorim had been under pressure for most of his tenure at Old Trafford and this situation has boiled over in the last 24 hours.
The former Sporting Lisbon boss has clearly clashed with Man Utd’s hierarchy as he had a remarkable rant after Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Leeds United, hinting at a lack of support.
This appears to have forced Man Utd’s hand, with respected journalist David Ornstein revealing on Monday morning that he has been sacked.
He has also named Amorim’s ‘expected’ replacement.
Amorim said on X: ‘EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim as head coach. 40yo Portuguese informed of decision & goes with immediate effect after 14 months following breakdown in relations. Darren Fletcher expected to take over #MUFC on interim basis.’
