Manchester United has sacked manager Ruben Amorim after 14 months, appointing Darren Fletcher as interim manager for the upcoming match against Burnley. Former player Rio Ferdinand expressed surprise at the timing of the sacking but not the decision itself, noting a perceived 'coldness' in Amorim's demeanor recently. Ferdinand suggested issues within the club had been brewing since before Christmas, and he approved of Fletcher's interim appointment, hoping it would lead to a more considered permanent managerial choice.
