Sunday, after the Premier League match between Manchester United and Ipswich (1-1), Ruben Amorim was a bit annoyed by the impromptu arrival of Ed Sheeran on a TV set. The singing star posted a message of apology on his social networks.
This is the controversy that we didn't really see coming. Sunday, after the draw between Ipswich and Manchester United (1-1, 12th day of the Premier League), Ruben Amorim, the brand new coach of the Red Devils, showed himself a bit annoyed by the intervention of Ed Sheeran on the Sky Sports set.
While he was debriefing his team's draw, the Portuguese technician was interrupted by the singing superstar, who came to greet consultant and former player Jamie Redknapp. The sequence made the rounds on social networks and caused a little psychodrama. The intervention of Ed Sheeran, shareholder and fan of Ipswich, was thus described as disrespectful by many Internet users.
Ed Sheeran: “I didn't realize he was in the middle of an interview”
“I apologize if I offended Amorim yesterday, I didn't realize he was in the middle of an interview at the time,” Ed Sheeran said on his Instagram account. “I popped over to say hello and goodbye to Jamie. Obviously I felt a little silly, but life goes on.”
Although he did not wish to dwell on this controversial sequence, Amorim still shared his surprise to discover the numerous media obligations he has had to meet since his appointment on the Manchester United bench. “I'm going to say that it's the last time (that he will come on set after a match, editor's note). This week, I spoke more than in fourteen years in sport. When you talk too much and you don't win, it's really hard for everyone, I just want to work with my players, nothing more, but I understand that it's a different game here,” he concluded on the Sky Sports set. .
