"With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club's leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish. The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future."
"Fletcher's twin teenage sons, Jack and Tyler, play for United and were both on the bench for Amorim's final game in charge - the 1-1 draw with rivals Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday. Jack has made three first-team appearances for United so far this season, while fellow midfielder Tyler is awaiting his senior debut after both brothers left Manchester City's academy to move to Old Trafford in a deal worth 1.25million in the summer of 2023."
Ruben Amorim has departed his role as Head Coach of Manchester United. Ruben was appointed in November 2024 and led the team to a UEFA Europa League Final in Bilbao in May. Manchester United sit sixth in the Premier League, prompting the club's leadership to decide a change is needed to maximise the team's highest possible finish. Darren Fletcher will take charge for the away match at Turf Moor against Burnley on Wednesday. Fletcher won 13 major trophies and made 342 senior appearances for United between 2002 and 2015 and returned in 2020 to coaching and technical roles. His twin sons Jack and Tyler are in United's squad; Jack has made three first-team appearances while Tyler awaits his senior debut.
