What Ed Sheeran said as he crashed Ruben Amorim post-match Manchester United interview
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim saw his post-match interview gatecrashed by pop star Ed Sheeran
Pop superstar Ed Sheeran crashed Ruben Amorim’s post-match interview with Sky Sports following Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town.
The newly appointed United head coach looked far from impressed as the Shape of You singer appeared during his media duties, alongside Kelly Cates, Roy Keane, Jamie Redknapp and Izzy Christiansen, in a 20-second exchange. Sheeran shared an embrace with the former Liverpool midfielder, shaking his hand, before offering his thoughts on another memorable night for Ipswich, following their promotion from the Championship last season.
The 33-year-old, who is an Ipswich minority shareholder, said: “I don’t think he wants to speak to me. He (Ruben Amorim) doesn’t want to speak to me.
Marcus Rashford got the visitors off to the perfect start as he fired home from close range after just 80 seconds. However, the hosts restored parity on the stroke of half-time when Omari Hutchinson’s long-range effort nestled into the top corner.
The new head coach had Andre Onana to thank for keeping Ipswich at bay as he made a series of crucial stops with United in the lead, as well as in the second-half.
After a gruelling week under the glare of the media spotlight, Amorim appeared frustrated by the level of attention. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “This week I spoke more [to the media] than I did in four years at Sporting. I just want to work with my players. Nothing more.”
