Ruben Amorim has left his role as Manchester United head coach, the club have confirmed.
Amorim succeeded Erik ten Hag at the Old Trafford helm 14 months ago, but the Premier League giants have opted to make the change following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Leeds.
Amorim leaves United role
“Ruben Amorim has departed his role as Head Coach of Manchester United,” a statement read on the club’s official website.
“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.”
Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Elland Road means United have won only one of their last five league matches, and three of their last 11.
