Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim allegedly damaged a television in the team’s dressing room after their 3-1 loss to Brighton. The Portuguese manager’s anger stemmed from his team’s lackluster performance, which marked their sixth home defeat of the season.

According to The Athleticciting sources familiar with the incident, this verbal outburst escalated into physical frustrationresulting in damage to a television screen used for tactical displays. The source reports that the damage “will need to be fixed.”
Amorim’s behavior was reportedly unusual. He usually avoids feedback right after the matchand prefers to conduct his analysis the next day. But the intensity of his disappointment after the Brighton defeat led to an uncharacteristic outburst that caught the players by surprise.
On contact by Express Sport, Manchester United declined to comment on the incident. The club has until their upcoming game against Rangers to repair the damage. However, the incident has raised questions about the team’s atmosphere.
A troubled team?
The alleged incident underlines the underlying tension within the Manchester United squad, currently languishing in 13th place in the Premier League. Players like Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho have fallen out of favor under Amorimand the manager has tried to deal with indiscipline.
The situation has not improved since Erik ten Hag was dismissed. Amorim’s assessment of his team as “the worst team in United’s history” highlights the seriousness of the current situation. The team’s recent record of two wins in their last 10 league games is a major factor in this assessment.
The upcoming games against Rangers and Fulham will be crucial in determining the manager’s continued tenure and the club’s efforts to turn the season around. The incident is a big topic of conversation in the media.
