Ruben Amorim expressed his anger and frustration after Manchester United squandered a lead to draw 1-1 with West Ham at Old Trafford. Diogo Dalot's second-half strike was cancelled out by Soungoutou Magassa's late corner, leaving the United boss visibly irate in his post-match press conference.
Amorim, who described the result as 'frustrating' and 'angry', snapped back at suggestions his team had regressed. 'It's not going backwards,' he said. 'The results are going backwards. We had some moments. That can happen.' He pointed to the 83rd-minute goal as a moment where United had control but failed to manage the situation.
The Portuguese manager referenced a previous incident after a 3-1 loss to Brighton in January when he hit a giant television in the dressing room. He confirmed he would debrief his players on Friday once he had cooled down, adding that inconsistency has been a recurring issue, as seen in October's 4-2 win over West Ham when United conceded twice after leading 3-0.
United now face a trip to winless Wolves on Monday, and Amorim warned against complacency after failing to beat a side languishing in 18th place at home. West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo praised his team's character, saying: 'I think it was a good performance overall. Even when we lost to Liverpool we competed well. The reaction and character was there today.'
