The Ed Sheeran Incident Shouldn’t Have Been Escalated – Ruben Amorim

Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has come out to react to his post-match interview being disrupted by Ed Sheeran. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Ed Sheeran was simply saying hello to one of the commentators when he disrupted his interview, so it was nothing that should have been escalated by the media.

Amorim added that things simply get overcomplicated in England, and it is way different in Portugal.

His words, “In England you over complicate things. In Portugal it is so different. He was just saying hello to one of the commentators and it was nothing. I was with Roy Keane and he is one of the stars. It was nothing, it’s OK.”

On the press misinterpreting his words, “I have to use the names of the players to explain the situation to you guys. I have explained why we had some problems in the first half. It was not a problem with the players; it was about me [and my ideas]. I believe we can play in different systems. Sometimes we defended in a 4-4-2 [vs Ipswich]. We have to play in different systems because nowadays teams change their dynamic. I think our structure, the power of this structure, is to change formation in each game.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
