Manchester United has sacked head coach Ruben Amorim after 14 months in charge, citing the team's sixth-place Premier League standing and a desire for a higher finish. The decision followed a 1-1 draw with Leeds United and reports of strained relations between Amorim and the club's hierarchy, exacerbated by his post-match comments. Former player Darren Fletcher has been appointed interim head coach and will manage the team against Burnley. Amorim's tenure included a Europa League final appearance but was marked by inconsistent league results.
