Amorim's reaction is unusual as he typically prefers to remain silent after matches and conduct analysis the following day. 

However, his outburst after the Brighton game suggests his growing frustration with the team's poor results.

Per the report, the incident has drawn comparisons to Sir Alex Ferguson's infamous "hairdryer treatment" of players when he was dissatisfied with their performances.

Despite the outburst, Manchester United executives are reportedly continuing to support Amorim, and are actively pursuing players in the transfer market to suit his system after opening talks for Lecce wing-back Patrick Dorgu.
