Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim's frustrations hit a boiling point following his team's dismal 3-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, leading to an incident that left the dressing room in disarray and the big screen television damaged.

The Portuguese coach, who has seen his side lose seven of their last 15 matches under his guidance, reportedly unleashed his anger in a rare outburst after the loss, marking a departure from his usual post-match silence. Sources revealed that during his heated critique of the players’ performance, the TV used for pre-match tactics was damaged.

Frustrations Mount

Amorim’s outburst comes amid mounting pressure, as Manchester United’s performances continue to falter. Following the match, the usually composed manager was visibly irate, drawing comparisons to Sir Alex Ferguson’s infamous “hairdryer treatment.” Despite his frustrations, Amorim later tempered his emotions during the press conference but did not shy away from labeling the current United side as “maybe the worst in history.”

“I knew it was going to be hard to implement a completely new idea, but when you lose games and don’t win three in a row, it becomes really hard,” Amorim said. “We can lose, but we have to maintain discipline and positional structure on the pitch.”

Club Support Amid Struggles

Amorim’s dissatisfaction also reflects a deeper struggle to instill his philosophy within the squad. Despite the setbacks, the club’s hierarchy, including minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, remains supportive. Ratcliffe, who attended United’s recent win over Southampton, held a lengthy discussion with Amorim, signaling continued backing for the manager.

Efforts to strengthen the squad in line with Amorim’s vision are underway, including talks to secure Lecce wing-back Patrick Dorgu. However, the immediate concern remains addressing the tactical lapses and lack of cohesion that have plagued the team.

Looking Ahead

With a Europa League clash against Rangers looming, Amorim faces the challenge of rallying his team amid the turmoil. The damaged dressing room television may serve as a symbolic reminder of the high stakes and expectations that come with managing one of football’s most storied clubs.

As United continue their struggle for consistency, all eyes will be on Amorim to see if his fiery passion can ignite a turnaround or if the frustrations will lead to further cracks within the squad.
