According to The Athletic, the new Man United boss, who was appointed in November to replace Erik ten Hag, broke the television in the dressing room after his team lost to Brighton.
Amid fierce criticism of his side's seventh defeat in 15 matches, the Portuguese coach was defeated after Brighton secured a comfortable 3-1 victory at Old Trafford.

After the defeat to Brighton, Amorim controversially said the current team of Man United “probably the worst in history.”
“We are probably the worst team in the history of Manchester United. I know you want the headlines but I say that because we have to admit that and change that. Here you go: the headlines,” he said via the Manchester Evening News.
He insisted that he will not change his system of finding three players at the back, no matter how difficult things get.
“I'm not going to change, no matter what. I know we can succeed but we need to live in the moment. I'm not stupid. We need to live now.”
