Amorim was looking to bounce back after suffering back-to-back defeats in the Premier League. Andre Onana endured another torrid night after his attempt to play from the back was cut out before being turned in by Matej Vydra three minutes after the restart.

Why was Hojlund angry at Amad Diallo?

The Dane striker could have bagged a hat trick in stoppage time, but Amad Diallo failed to square the ball, much to his frustration.

There was a minor incident after the final whistle, with Hojlund seemingly confronting his teammate for failing to pass the ball. Fans online jumped on the moment with varied takes.

Reactions to the news:

Here are some of the responses from fans.

@eeemz_em said,

"Hojlund still mad at Amad Diallo for not passing to him? Terrible guy scores and starts thinking he's all that."

Ennies Lobby said,

"How many attacks has Rasmus killed, though? It's childish. We won the game. He scored because of Amad to begin with."

While Dylan said,

"Rightfully so.. very poor decision-making from Amad for the goal and the chance after."

What next for Manchester United?

Amorim will now train his focus on his first Manchester derby on Sunday before playing Tottenham next week in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.

Amorim's warning to Rashford

Briefly News has also reported that Amorim fired a warning to Marcus Rashford after their loss to Nottingham Forest on 7 December.

Rashford walked straight down the tunnel instead of applauding fans, which put him at a crossroads with his new manager.
