Ruben Amorim has been left 'hurt' by his dismissal as Manchester United manager, according to reports. The club decided to part ways with the Portuguese coach on Monday morning after a 1-1 draw against Leeds United at Elland Road.
Despite sitting sixth in the Premier League table, three points off the top four, Amorim believed Champions League qualification was still within reach. However, the 14-month tenure was marred by frustrations, including a disagreement with technical director Jason Wilcox over tactics.
Sources indicate that Amorim felt micro-managed by the club hierarchy and found the 'external noise' challenging, though he remained confident in his ability to handle the role. His sacking followed a fiery post-match press conference that hinted at underlying tensions.
United have appointed Darren Fletcher as caretaker manager for Wednesday's Premier League clash against Burnley. The club is now weighing up options for an interim boss to see out the season, with a permanent appointment planned for the summer.
Former managers Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are among the candidates being considered. Additionally, the club is moving to bring former defender Jonny Evans into the backroom staff.
