Manchester United have sacked head coach Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese boss departs after 14 months in charge, with his final game the 1-1 draw at Leeds on Sunday.
Amorim’s dismissal comes after growing tensions between him and the Old Trafford hierarchy, including director of football Jason Wilcox.
Amorim was dismissed following a Monday morning meeting with Wilcox and Omar Berrada, United’s chief executive, in which Amorim was informed he was being relieved of his duties.
In a statement, United confirmed “the club’s leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.”
Ex-Man Utd midfielder Darren Fletcher will take interim charge, with United next in action at Burnley on Wednesday night.
