English premiership club Manchester United have taken the decision to sack the coach, Mr. Ruben Amorim on Monday morning. The Portuguese mentor failed to beat the newly promoted side Leeds United in the English premiership match on Sunday afternoon. Amorim is leaving the club after 14 months in the team without bringing the desired results to the club. Manchester United drew 1-1 against Leeds United. The former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who is also a former coach at Manchester United, slams Ruben Amorim.

Leeds United opened the scoring in the 62nd minute by American winger Brenden Aaronson. Three minutes later, Manchester United found the equalizer with the Brazilian winger Matheus Cunha in the 65th minute. The former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher will be in charge of the team as interim coach. Manchester United will play against Burnley in their next game, then Brighton, Manchester City, and Arsenal. Leeds United have announced that one of their supporters has sadly lost their life ahead of their match against Manchester United due to medical conditions.

Leeds United coach Mr. Daniel Farke tried to make changes in the second half against Manchester United; unfortunately, all efforts did not bear fruit as the match ended 1-1. He brought in Lucas Nmecha, who came in for Noah Okafor, So Tanaka in for Illia Gruev, W. Gnonto in for S. Bornauw, and Joel Piroe in for the goalscorer Brenden Aaronson. Manchester United's coach made a change in the 63rd minute, replacing Leny Yoro for Joshua Zirkzee.
