Ed Sheeran has issued an apology to Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim after accidentally interrupting his post-match interview. The incident occurred on Sunday after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town, a team Sheeran supports and has a minority stake in.
Sheeran explained on Instagram that he didn’t realize Amorim was being interviewed and was simply trying to say hello to pundit Jamie Redknapp. He acknowledged feeling embarrassed by the incident but congratulated both teams on a great game.
The interruption drew criticism on social media, prompting Sheeran’s apology. Manchester United’s next match is against FK Bodø/Glimt in the Europa League, while Ipswich Town faces Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
