Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim was seen chastising Rasmus Hojlund during the Red Devils disappointing 2-0 loss to Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Monday night.
United have now lost three games in a row without scoring in any of them, having played Bournemouth, Wolves and Newcastle during that period.
For the majority of the game, Amorim’s team were second best, with goals from Joelinton and Alexander Isak secured the Magpies the three points.
Due to Ipswich Town’s victory over Chelsea on Monday, Man United are now only seven points above the relegation zone and remain in 14th place in the Premier League standings.

Only Amad Diallo and a few other players have adapted to the Portuguese head coach’s tactics, philosophy, and style of play. And Amorim has found it difficult to figure out what he wants from his United team.
Hojlund, a Denmark international who has only scored two Premier League goals this season, is one player who is still having trouble at Old Trafford under the new boss.
Additionally, Samuel Luckhurst, a journalist for the Manchester Evening News, maintains that earlier in the game against Newcastle, Amorim was observed “berating” Hojlund.
Luckhurst wrote: “Amorim berated Hojlund after seven minutes for not pushing up high enough. If Hojlund had done a cursory amount of research, he would have known what Amorim demands from his striker.
“Overpriced and overpromoted, Hojlund was fortunate to start.”
Manchester United are set for a North-West Derby clash against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
