"Maguire was among the first of the players to post to their Instagram story, saying: " Thank you for everything, boss. I wish you all the best in the future." Fernandes followed shortly after to say: "Thank you, Mister! Wish you and your technical staff all the best." Mason Mount, Amad Diallo, Diogo Dalot and Matthijs De Ligt have also released posts on social media to thank the former United head coach and wish him good luck in the future."
"Darren Fletcher will take charge of the team when they travel to Burnley on Wednesday, but they are reportedly looking to hire a caretaker manager for the rest of the season, while looking for a permanent replacement. Gareth Southgate and Oliver Glasner have appeared as strong candidates for the permanent role, with the latter's contract with Crystal Palace expiring at the end of the season. Former Barcelona boss Xavi has also been linked with the position, while Thomas Tuchel could be available following England's 2026 World Cup campaign."
Rúben Amorim was dismissed as Manchester United manager on Monday following a run of poor results and a critical post-match press conference after a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. Amorim had guided the team to the Europa League final after his November 2024 appointment but lost 1-0 to Tottenham in the final. Premier League statistics under Amorim showed a 32% win ratio, 1.5 goals conceded per game (reported as 1.53 by Opta), and a 15% clean sheet rate, the lowest for any United manager. Several players publicly thanked him on social media. Darren Fletcher will take charge for the trip to Burnley while the club seeks a caretaker and a permanent replacement, with candidates reported to include Gareth Southgate, Oliver Glasner, Xavi and potentially Thomas Tuchel after the World Cup. United sit sixth in the Premier League.
