'I'd had about 10 pints!' - Ed Sheeran admits he was drunk during awkward stand-off with Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim after Ipswich draw

<p>Singer-songwriter <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ed-sheeran-limited-edition-shiny-premier-league-panini-sticker-ipswich-pop-star-investor-special-treatment-wrexham-co-owners-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-cant-match/blt0bd9665262bfa7fd" target="_blank">Sheeran owns 1.4 per cent of the Tractor Boys</a>, having grown up supporting the club after seeing his family relocate to Suffolk. He is the front of shirt sponsor on Ipswich’s kit and has been treated to his own VIP suite at Portman Road.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Sheeran likes to make the most of that hospitality when attending Premier League games. He can, however, take things too far occasionally – such as when he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-fans-rip-ed-sheeran-ruben-amorim-ipswich-superfan-gatecrashed-manager-interview-sky-sports/bltca402e3e956bd00d" target="_blank">drunkenly interrupted Sky Sports’ post-match discussion with Amorim</a> following a 1-1 draw at Ipswich in the Portuguese coach’s first game as United boss.</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p>Discussing that incident on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxbZXPhjcMY " target="_blank"><em>Men In Blazers</em></a> podcast, Sheeran said of why his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ed-sheeran-apologises-ruben-amorim-post-match-sky-sports-interview-ipswich-shareholder-new-man-utd-boss/blt87e7e61c98e5c82f" target="_blank">alcohol-filled executive box was to blame</a>: "I had it gutted and turned into a pub, you don't need to go for pre-drinks anywhere else. And it's definitely got me in trouble sometimes.</p><p>"Like that United game where I didn't realise Amorim was getting interviewed. I honestly didn't. Jamie [Redknapp] said come and see me afterwards and I was wandering out afterwards. I'd had about 10 pints, saw Jamie, so I was like ‘Oh, I'll go up and say hi to Jamie’. It was the wrong time - very clearly the wrong time - but I have learned my lesson and it won't happen again."</p>

WHAT ED SHEERAN SAID

<p>Sheeran has also urged supporters to come up with better songs when poking fun at him during top-flight fixtures. The Brit Award winner added: "The chants haven't been funny enough. I need better chants when we go away. I see so much thought and preparation go into some of the rude chants, and I just feel like I haven’t got the humour.</p><p>"We were at Wolves and there was a chant saying ‘Ed Sheeran’s a c***’, and I was like ‘at least have a bit of imagination’. You go to Spurs and they’re singing ‘gimme, gimme, gimme a ginger from Sweden’ (to the tune of Abba’s Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! for their midfielder Dejan Kulusevski), and you’re like, someone has put some thought into that, someone has really taken their time, I want that.</p><p>"I want someone in the home fans’ pub beforehand being like, ‘lads, we’ve got it, we’ve got something to rip Sheeran apart and it’s this’. I want time spent on it."</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Ipswich will be heading out on the road again when they return to action after the international break with a trip to Bournemouth on April 2. Kieran McKenna’s side have just nine games in which to try and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/premier-league-walkout-songs/blt68dd6f61566d6893" target="_blank">steer a course to Premier League safety</a>, with a nine-point gap keeping them inside the relegation zone at present.</p>
