Manchester United have sacked Ruben Amorim, with the Portuguese coach paying the price for an explosive outburst aimed at the club’s hierarchy and a run of underwhelming results.
Amorim’s departure brings a swift end to his spell in charge at Old Trafford, with the club deciding a change was needed as pressure continued to rise around performances and direction.
The decision also follows a bombshell public outburst from Amorim in which he took aim at the United board, a moment that escalated tensions behind the scenes and left his position increasingly difficult to defend.
United have moved quickly to put a short-term plan in place, with an interim replacement already lined up as the club looks to stabilise the situation while longer-term decisions are made.
Amorim exits with his tenure defined by flashes of promise but not enough consistency, and the club’s officials have now opted for a reset in an attempt to keep their season on track.
