Ruben Amorim was seen visibly frustrated in the technical area during Manchester United's 4-4 draw with Bournemouth, with footage capturing the manager venting his anger directly at Leny Yoro. The 40-year-old was heard shouting in Portuguese, 'The ball has gone for half an hour, what is Leny doing?' as he gestured wildly to his backroom staff.
The exact moment of the outburst remains unclear, but it adds to a tense relationship between Amorim and the 20-year-old defender. Earlier this month, Amorim had criticised Yoro for 'thinking too much' after the youngster appeared dejected when substituted during United's 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.
Speaking after that match, Amorim said, 'He makes a mistake and then struggles because he's too young. He cannot give that reaction to the people. But it shows he cares.'
At Old Trafford, United took the lead three times but failed to hold on, with goals from Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha, Amad, and Casemiro. The draw prevented United from moving into fifth place in the Premier League, exposing defensive frailties that have plagued the team.
Amorim admitted his disappointment after the match, stating, 'It's really disappointing. We dominated the first half and should have had a different result. Then we lost concentration in the second half. We have to learn to close out games.'
