Ed Sheeran has said he “feels like a bellend” for crashing Ruben Amorim’s first post-match interview as Man United manager. The singer has issued an apology via social media.
Portuguese manager Amorim took charge of his first Man United game yesterday after being hired just before the international break.
His side took on Ipswich Town AND the game finished 1-1 after goals from Marcus Rashford and Omari Hutchinson.
Following the game, Sheeran, who is a huge Ipswich Town fan, minority owner, and front-of-shirt sponsor, crashed Amorim’s interview with the Sky Sports panel post-match.

Much was made of the awkward interaction on social media, leading to the singer issuing an apology on his Instagram account.
Sheeran wrote:
