UK pop sensation Ed Sheeran surprised everyone when he gatecrashed Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim’s post-match interview following a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. The Grammy-winning artist interrupted Amorim’s discussion with Sky Sports pundits, Roy Keane and Jamie Redknapp, leading to a mixed reception from fans and social media users.
Sheeran, a known Ipswich supporter and part-owner of the club, apologized for his intrusion after the clip went viral. The incident occurred at Portman Road, where Amorim was making his debut as the Red Devils’ coach, only to see his team held to a frustrating draw. Sheeran appeared in good spirits, chatting casually with Redknapp mid-interview, but his actions were seen by some as undermining the significance of Amorim’s first match.
On social media, Manchester United fans criticized Sheeran, accusing him of disrespecting Amorim at a pivotal moment in his coaching career. Despite this, Sheeran’s enthusiasm for Ipswich and his visible support for the team were praised by some of the club’s fans.
The unexpected cameo added an unusual twist to the day’s events, overshadowing Amorim’s debut and sparking conversations about celebrity appearances in sports moments.
