Amorim sacked as United boss after difficult 14 months in charge

RUBEN Amorim has been sacked as Manchester United head coach having failed to make sufficient headway during an underwhelming 14 months in charge.
The 40-year-old's appointment in November 2024 brought much hope and excitement to Old Trafford, with the highly-rated Sporting Lisbon coach succeeding Erik ten Hag on a deal until 2027.

May's costly Europa League final defeat to Tottenham compounded that and the club have wielded the axe with the Red Devils sixth in the standings following Sunday's 1-1 draw at rivals Leeds.
