During Ruben Amorim’s first post-match interview as Manchester United’s new head coach, an unexpected moment occurred when pop star Ed Sheeran interrupted.
The interview followed United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich at Portman Road, where Marcus Rashford had scored early for United, but Ipswich equalized through Omari Hutchinson’s long-range strike.
As Amorim was giving his post-match interview to Sky Sports, Sheeran approached to greet pundit Jamie Redknapp.
Noticing Amorim’s reaction, Sheeran made a lighthearted comment, “I don’t think he wants to speak to me,” before adding, “I love being back in the Premier League.” Amorim, visibly displeased, shook his head at the interruption, which added an unexpected twist to the interview.
Sources like Sky Sports and various news outlets covered the incident, noting both the humorous nature of Sheeran’s comment and Amorim’s more serious demeanor during the interview.
