Sports News of Monday, 5 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comPortuguese manager Ruben Amorim recorded one of the worst statistical runs as Manchester United manager during his stint with the club. Under Amorim, United conceded the fourth‑most goals in the Premier League with 72. In 45 of Amorim’s 47 Premier League games, he deployed a three‑man defence, a decision widely questioned by fans and pundits as a factor in the poor performances. Following a tense relationship with the club’s board, coupled with disappointing results, Manchester United released an official statement on January 5, 2025, announcing his dismissal. Darren Fletcher, who previously served as an under‑18 coach at Manchester United, has since been appointed as the new manager of the English side.
