Manchester United have sacked manager Ruben Amorim after just 14 months in charge following his reported bombshell attack on the club’s board after the 1-1 draw away to Leeds United on Sunday.
The Portuguese manager is said to have hit out at Old Trafford chiefs, specifically at Director of football Jason Wilcox after failing to land Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo who is set to join rivals Manchester City.

“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,” the club said on its official website.
