Ruben Amorim, Manchester United’s manager, only joined the club in November but appears to be losing patience with the performances and players he has at his disposal. In a move that is typically out of character for Amorim, the Portuguese reportedly damaged the giant screen television inside Manchester United’s dressing room in a fit of rage following his team’s 1-3 defeat at home to Brighton and Hove Albion. The result was United’s seventh loss in 15 games under Amorim, leaving them 13th in the Premier League rankings. Following the defeat, Amorim had labelled the current United squad as the “worst in the history of the club”, and seemingly did not spare his players.

According to British media site The Athletic, Amorim could not hide his emotions after the loss, furiously expressing his anger to Manchester United’s players. During this process, the Portuguese manager reportedly destroyed the huge screen television inside the United dressing room, which is typically used to go over tactics before games. According to reports, the screen will need to be fixed before United’s next Europa League game against Rangers on Thursday night. Amorim is said to be a calm person whether he wins or loses, and he prefers to analyze the game the next day. As a result, his wrath following the 1-3 loss to Brighton seemed out of character.

According to the source, Amorim has previously stated that he uses harsh remarks to shock his players and others at the club, but the results have been quite unsatisfactory. Manchester United’s current squad has struggled to adapt to Amorim’s creative 3-4-3 formation, with only a 2-1 comeback victory against Manchester City and a spirited 2-2 draw against league leaders Liverpool to highlight the advantages. Advertisement However, the 39-year-old Amorim appears to have the support of club co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, as United hunt for wing-back options in the January transfer window. Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho have not played a significant role under Amorim and are reportedly on their way out.
