"Apologies if I offended Amorim yesterday, didn't actually realise he was being interviewed at the time, was popping in to say hi and bye to Jamie," Sheeran said.

"[Obviously] feel a bit of a b------ but life goes on. Great game though, congrats on all involved x."

Sheeran, who is fan of Ipswich and has a minority stake in the club, is also the front of shirt sponsor for the club.

He was on hand to watch as Kieran McKenna's side came from behind to earn a point against United in Amorim's first match in charge after taking over from Erik ten Hag.

Amorim's first game at Old Trafford comes against FK Bodø/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday, while Ipswich travel to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.
