Ed Sheeran has apologized to Ruben Amorim for ruining his post-match interview following Manchester United’s 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town.
United’s new head coach was being interviewed on Sky Sports when Sheeran stepped in to speak to Jamie Redknapp, who was on air as a pundit.
After being criticized for the incident on social media, Sheeran posted on Instagram to apologize to the Portuguese manager and say he felt like a “b—end”.
Amorim, after taking charge of United for the first time, was interviewed by Kelly Cates, Roy Keane, Izzy Christiansen and former Liverpool midfielder Redknapp at Portman Road.
As they discussed the game, singer-songwriter Sheeran, a minority owner at Ipswich, interrupted the pitchside interview to greet Redknapp. Referring to Amorim, Sheeran said: “I don’t think he wants to talk to me. » He added: “I love being back in the Premier League. »
On Monday, Sheeran wrote: “Apologies if I offended Amorim yesterday. I didn’t really know he was being interviewed at the time. I came to say hello and goodbye to Jamie. [Obviously] I feel a little bad, but life goes on. Great game though, congratulations to everyone involved x.
Sheeran became Ipswich’s main shirt sponsor in 2021 and bought a minority stake in the club this summer after securing promotion from the Championship.
Marcus Rashford had opened the scoring for United in the second minute, but Omari Hutchinson’s equalizer in the 43rd minute earned Ipswich a point.
Post-match analysis proved eventful for the Sky Sports team, with Roy Keane also telling an Ipswich fan to “wait for him in the car park” as he clamped down on violent abuse.
The exchange through a sideline barrier took place moments before he went on air again and sparked more jeers aimed at the former United captain, who managed Ipswich between 2009 and 2011.
Amorim’s first match at Old Trafford is on Thursday against FK Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.
