Ed Sheeran has apologised to Ruben Amorim for gatecrashing his post-match interview after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town.

United’s new head coach was being interviewed on Sky Sports when Sheeran cut in to talk to Jamie Redknapp, who was on air as a pundit.

Having been criticised for the incident on social media, Sheeran posted on Instagram to apologise to the Portuguese manager and say

he felt like a “b—end”.

Amorim, after taking charge of United for the first time, was being interviewed by Kelly Cates, Roy Keane, Izzy Christiansen and

former Liverpool midfielder Redknapp at Portman Road.

As they discussed the game, singer-songwriter Sheeran, who was pictured drinking Guinness on the pitch post-match, interrupted the

pitchside interview to greet Redknapp. Referring to Amorim, Sheeran, who is a minority owner at Ipswich, said: “I don’t think he

wants to speak to me.” He added: “I love being back in the Premier League.”

On Monday, Sheeran wrote: “Apologies if I offended Amorim yesterday. Didn’t actually realise he was being interviewed at the time.

Was popping to say hi and bye to Jamie. [Obviously] feel a bit of a b—end but life goes on. Great game though, congrats on all

involved x.”

Sheeran became Ipswich’s main shirt sponsor in 2021 and bought a minority stake in the club this summer after they secured

promotion from the Championship.
