Manchester United have sacked boss Ruben Amorim, sources have told ESPN.
Amorim leaves Old Trafford after a breakdown in his relationship with the club, in particular director of football Jason Wilcox.
The Portuguese coach revealed his frustration at a lack of movement with January at his news conference at Carrington on Friday ahead of the trip to Leeds United.
And after the 1-1 draw at Elland Road on Sunday, he went one step further by telling club bosses he wants to be “manager, not the coach” while also pointedly aiming a barb at Wilcox to “do his job.”
Amorim has overseen a turbulent 14 months at United after succeeding Erik ten Hag as boss in November 2024.
He won 24 of his 63 matches in charge and oversaw just 15 victories in the Premier League.
He leaves United sixth in the Premier League table after eight wins from 20 games this season.
Current Under-18s boss Darren Fletcher is expected to take over ahead of the trip to Burnley on Wednesday.
