Ruben Amorim was infuriated by a specific action taken by Manchester United players during the clash with Bodo/Glimt.

Ruben Amorim was visibly frustrated with a specific issue during Manchester United’s Europa League clash against Bodo/Glimt.

United started strongly, with Alejandro Garnacho scoring in the first minute, but quickly fell behind after goals from Hakon Evjen and Philip Zinckernagel. Rasmus Hojlund equalized just before halftime with a composed finish and later made it 3-2 in the second half, strengthening his case for a regular starting role.

Amorim made tactical adjustments in the second half, which brought encouraging signs, particularly through the performances of Hojlund and Noussair Mazraoui. However, the first half exposed areas needing improvement.

According to The United Stand, Amorim was visibly annoyed when United failed to switch play quickly to Antony, who was playing as a right wing-back. They reported: “Manchester United didn’t switch the ball quick enough to Antony on the right side, and Amorim is making that known to the players. He’s not happy on the touchline.”

Antony, making his first start of the season, was substituted in the second half as Amorim introduced changes that helped secure his first win with United following the 1-1 draw against Ipswich.

Speaking after the match, Amorim emphasized the need for patience as the team adapts to his style. He told Sky Sports:

“We cannot [control the game] at the moment, but they really tried. They are really, really trying, and they want this. That’s the reason [for differences in performance].

“We have two options: play safe and just win games for now, but risk facing the same issues next year, or embrace the new approach, work through the confusion, and aim to improve over time.

“People talk about 3-4-3, but a system is just a system. It’s the understanding of the game where we need significan

t improvement.”
