Manchester United on Monday released a statement that they have parted ways with head coach Ruben Amorim after a stint of 14 years. In his place, Darren Fletcher has taken up the role on an interim basis.

"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 release read.
