Tragic News: Ispwich Town key player die in a Crash few minutes ago today.

Ed Sheeran has apologised to new Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim for interrupting his post-match interview following Sunday’s draw at Ipswich Town.

Sheeran, 33, said he had been intending to greet Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp and was unaware Amorim was being interviewed at the time, when the UK broadcaster cut to the him mid-way through the United head coach’s pitch-side discussion.

The singer-songwriter is a sponsor and minority shareholder of his hometown club Ipswich and was celebrating the newly-promoted side’s 1-1 draw against United.

He was criticised on social media following the incident but issued a statement to explain it had been an accident.

The 39-year-old was asked by pundit Izzy Christiansen what had impressed him the most from his new players in training in the build up to Sunday’s fixture and what he wanted to take forward from the game.

Amorim replied: “You start discovering things.

Garnacho can hold the ball between lines.

You can see that in the game because the game is always open. You try to find these things.

Bruno Fernandes, he improved his game by playing near the ball, feeling the ball. He can give us sometimes the long pass.

But you cannot put him there all the time, because he wants the long pass.

He concluded: “We try to find things about the players. We will need a lot of time, a lot of time to work out these things.”

As presenter Kelly Cates began to ask the next question, the camera panned out to Sheeran greeting Redknapp.

“Ed Sheeran has joined us,” Cates said. “Ed, we’re just speaking to Ruben Amorim, who may not want to talk to an Ipswich fan.”

“I don’t think he wants to speak to me. He doesn’t want to speak to me,” Sheeran said.
