Fans fume at Ed Sheeran during live Sky Sports segment after ‘rude’ comments to Ruben Amorim

Manchester United fans have been left fuming with Ed Sheeran after he gatecrashed Sky Sports' live interview with Ruben Amorim.

On Sunday afternoon, Amorim took charge of his first match as Red Devils boss at Portman Road against newly-promoted Ipswich Town.

Despite going ahead thanks to Marcus Rashford's goal in the second minute, Ipswich managed to earn a 1-1 draw courtesy of Omari Hutchinson's 43rd-minute stunner.

After the match, singer and Ipswich minority shareholder Sheeran gatecrashed Amorim's interview on Sky Sports.

Presenter Kelly Cates said: "Ed Sheeran has come to join us, we're just chatting to Ruben Amorim."

Sheeran said, "I don't think he (Ruben Amorim) wants to speak to me."

The singer-songwriter then added: "I loved it, I love being back in the Premier League."

However, Sheeran's antics have not gone down well on social media, one United fan said: "I’m honestly a bit aghast at how rude that was from Ed Sheeran. Amorim should have told them all to get f***ed."

Another tweeted: "Interrupted the interview and there was no relevance to him doing that."

A third fan added: "This was embarrassing from Ed and Sky. Can tell Amorim was p****ed off."

Someone else wrote: "Just disrespectful if anything."

A fifth commented: "Honestly? What has Sky become? Would’ve been better if at that point Amorim walked away. You can tell he’s p***ed off by the interruption."

Reflecting on his first match in charge of United, Amorim said: "They are intelligent and they have to believe in that. And they have to believe and remember they are good players, and they have to enjoy, so we will try to do that, giving information, trying to help them.

"It's important for me to know the players – what they like to do, what they are capable of doing, and we need time to find that. Today was not a good result, but we will improve in the future."

The Red Devils will be back in action on Thursday when they take on Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa League at Old Trafford.
