Manchester United pull the plug as shock interim boss is named hours after sacking
Sudden Decision Rocks Old Trafford
Manchester United have dismissed head coach Rúben Amorim in a surprise move that has sent shockwaves through the club and its fan base.
According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the decision was taken swiftly by the club’s hierarchy as pressure continued to build over performances and long term direction. Romano reported the development on his social media channels, which are frequently used to break major news in European football.
The club have not yet released a detailed public explanation for the dismissal, but the timing highlights growing urgency behind the scenes.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Fletcher will oversee day to day responsibilities while Manchester United evaluate their next permanent managerial move. The former midfielder is a well known presence at Old Trafford and has remained involved in the club’s football operations since retiring from playing.
His appointment suggests the club are prioritising continuity and internal knowledge rather than making an immediate external hire.
