MANCHESTER UNITED fans are convinced they’ve spotted a cut on Ruben Amorim’s hand after it emerged yesterday that the Red Devils boss had launched a furious outburst on Sunday.
It was claimed yesterday that Amorim had damaged a TV screen used for tactics in the Man Utd dressing room during an angry dressing down of his players after their 3-1 defeat to Brighton.

The TV was allegedly damaged as collateral during Amorim’s passionate reaction to United falling to their third defeat in their last six Premier League games.
And fans think they may have spotted an injury picked up from Amorim during his outburst after noticing what appears to be a cut on his finger during his post-match press conference.
Supporters on social media pointed out the small nick on the 39-year-old’s hand and claimed that it wasn’t present prior to kick off.
One fan wrote: “Is that a cut on his finger?”
While another added: “Yep, that’s a cut!”
A third commented: “Definitely looks like he punched something”.
And a fourth speculated: “He’s punched the TV screen because of his anger”.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was left covered in scratches himself earlier this season after his side gave up a three goal lead during a frustrating draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League.

Man Utd ratings vs Brighton
By Ken Lawrence
ANDRE ONANA was back to his worst as Manchester United fell to another Old Trafford defeat.
It appeared Ruben Amorim’s side had turned a corner in recent weeks with a draw at Anfield and an FA Cup penalty shoot-out win at Arsenal.
But dreadful individual mistakes cost them yet again with Onana the chief culprit.
The keeper dropped a huge clanger as he palmed a simple cross straight to Georginio Rutter under no pressure whatsoever.
There were few positive notes for the Red Devils as Amad once again provided a spark.
Here is how SunSport’s Ken Lawrence rated the United display…
ANDRE ONANA: 2 – No chance with either of the Seagulls’ first two goals. But an awful howler to gift them their third.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT: 5 – Certainly doesn’t look like he likes players running at him as Kaoru Mitoma constantly did. Looked unsure of himself throughout.
HARRY MAGUIRE: 6 – The one member of United’s three-man central defence who looked like he knew what he was doing. Beginning to believe in himself again.
LENY YORO: 5 – The £52m youngster is still settling into the Premier League to be fair to him. But he is certainly taking his time about it.
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: 4 – Has been one of the few consistent successes of Amorim’s tactical revolution. Yet he had a real shocker this time around.
MANUEL UGARTE: 5 – Supposedly “tired” in the 3-1 win over Southampton the midfielder looked brighter here. Yet he still doesn’t look that switched on.
KOBBIE MAINOO: 4 – Where is last season’s Kobbie? Looks nothing like the buzzing homegrown midfielder who burst on the scene last season.
DIOGO DALOT: 5 – Did his duties as a left wing-back to the best of his abilities. Another United player, however, who looked nothing like sharp enough.
AMAD DIALLO: 7 – Thursday night’s 12-minute treble hero on a high again – unlike, again, so many team-mates. Sometimes his footwork is just dazzling.
BRUNO FERNANDES: 6 – Ultra-cool from the spot but that goal didn’t do much to raise his performance level. Had one of those days where nothing really clicked.
JOSHUA ZIRKZEE: 5 – “Won” the penalty after being brought down although Carlos Baleba’s challenge would have looked good in a wrestling ring. There’s a footballer in there somewhere…
SUBS
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (for Mainoo 64): 5 – Struggled to make an impact in a team that was being taken apart.
TOBY COLLYER (for Ugarte 64): 5 – Plenty of youthful commitment but still too inexperienced to lift a side as poor as Amorim’s.
ANTONY (for Mazraoui 84): 4 – Talk about a last throw of the dice by Amorim…
RASMUS HOJLUND (for Zirkzee 84): 4 – Given a thankless task in the closing moments of another depressing display.
Amorim, who is known to have a quiet approach to post-game reaction, was clearly still reeling from his team’s performance after the match.
The Portuguese gaffer slammed his side as the worst Man Utd team in history after the defeat.
He said: “We are being the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United.
“I know you want headlines but I am saying that because we have to acknowledge that and change that. So there you go, your headline.
“In ten games in the Premier League we won two, I know that. Imagine this for a fan of Manchester United, imagine this for me.
“You are getting a new coach who is losing more than the last coach. Imagine that. We need to survive this moment. I know that.”
United’s record at home this season is the club’s worst in the league in 131 years.
They have not lost six games at Old Trafford in 12 opening league appearances since the 1893-94 season, when they lost seven.
Amorim’s side are 13th in the table after 22 matches and sit closer to the relegation zone (10 points) than they do the top four (12).
