RUBEN AMORIM has had a dig back at Ed Sheeran for gatecrashing his Sky TV interview at the weekend, claiming he was standing next to the “real star” in Roy Keane.
Sheeran has sold more than 150 million records worldwide making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time.
He is also an Ipswich fan and was clearly a bit giddy after his side earned a creditable draw at home to Manchester United on Sunday.
He blundered in on Sky’s post-match pitchside interview with new Manchester United boss Amoim being questioned by Kelly Cates, Roy Keane, Izzy Christiansen and Jamie Redknapp.
Amorim looked less than impressed having overseen a poor United display in drawing 1-1 with the relegation-threatened Suffolk side having taken a second-minute lead.
Sheeran was trying to interact with Redknapp before Cates told him they were interviewing Amorim.
Sheeran looked across to Amorim and said: ‘I don’t think he wants to speak to me’.
Asked about the embarrassing situation ahead of United’s Europa League clash with Bodo Glimt, Amorim put Sheeran in his place.
He said: “Here you are used to that, in Portugal it’s different.
“For me, it was nothing. I was with Roy Keane, he’s a real star, it was really, really okay.”
Sheeran issued an apology on social media, admitting he felt like “a bit of a b******.”
Amorin has moved on from the Sheeran debacle and is now focused on getting his strikers, Marcus Rashford included, firing on all cylinders.
Rashford launched the new era under Amorim with a goal inside two minutes away to Ipswich on Sunday before the team slumped to a miserable 1-1 draw.
Now new boss Amorim says it is down to Rashford to take the first steps to get his best form back before he can start helping him.
Amorim said: “ We’ll try to find the right solution for him, as for the other players.
“But he has to be Marcus, first of all, to try to return to that moment and then he will have all the help of the staff, the club and the fans. —Sun.
