Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has broken his silence on his run-in with Ed Sheeran after Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. The singer-songwriter received mass backlash for interrupting Amorim’s first post-match interview as United boss to catch up with Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp at Portman Road.
Sheeran, a huge Ipswich supporter and investor, was in attendance as the Red Devils laboured to a stalemate against the strugglers.
Amorim wore a face of thunder when the 33-year-old crashed his pitchside interview on live TV, which briefly diverted the discussion away from the match.
It sparked a wave of theories online that the Portuguese coach was left fuming by Sheeran’s blunder, which he fuelled by later admitting he didn’t his increased media commitments in England.
On Monday, Sheeran to Amorim for his behaviour, insisting he was unaware an interview was ongoing when he spotted Redknapp.
“Apologies if I offended Amorim yesterday. I didn’t realise he was actually being interviewed at the time. I was popping in to say hi and bye to Jamie,” the ‘Shape of You’ artist penned.
“Obz feel a bit of a b***end but life goes on. Great game though, congrats to all involved x.”
But Amorim has cleared the air, clarifying that Sheeran’s antics didn’t bother him as much as it has been painted this week.
