Manchester United have parted ways with manager Ruben Amorim, the Premier League club announced on Monday, a day after they were held to a draw by relegation-threatened Leeds United.
“With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, 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 achieving the highest possible Premier League finish,” the club said in a statement.
United currently sit sixth in the league table, 17 points behind leaders Arsenal.
