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 revealed yesterday that Amorim had damaged a TV screen used for tactics in the Man Utd dressing room during a angry dressing down of his players after their 3-1 defeat to Brighton.

The TV was 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?"

A third commented: "Definitely looks like he punched something".

And a fourth speculated: "He's punched the TV screen because of his anger".

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.

Man Utd's owners will have 'very strong word' with Ruben Amorim over 'bizarre and ridiculous' claim, says Carragher

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).
