When Ten Pints and a Pitch Side Clash…

Ed Sheeran, the crooning sensation whose playlist features less drama than his recent antics, got himself in a pickle. The singer crashed into Ruben Amorim’s first post-match interview as the Manchester United head coach, leaving United fans more confused than when they hear ‘Wonderwall’ played on bagpipes. After about ten pints of liquid courage, Sheeran bumbled onto Portman Road’s pitch-side, baffling host Kelly Cates and throwing Amorim off his managerial game.

Eager to greet pundit Jamie Redknapp, Sheeran learned his lesson in live TV etiquette when told they were mid-broadcast. Sporting a look of disbelief, Amorim, from sidelines to headline, might’ve wished he could call a time-out. The day after, Sheeran sheepishly apologized online, admitting he didn’t realize they were live, claiming he just wanted to give Jamie a quick “hi” and “bye”. Amorim chuckled it off, suggesting in Portugal, Sheeran’s faux pas might have left folks googling “Ed who?”

Reflecting on the mishap on the Men In Blazers podcast, Sheeran confessed the magic number was ten – not in gigs, but pints. His Portman Road box, part-stadium, part-social experiment, occasionally leads to mischief. But, no worries, Ed assures: next time, just two pints! Want the latest red-hot Manchester United tidbits?
