Ruben Amorim was seen looking upset in the dugout during Manchester United’s 4-4 draw with Bournemouth, with footage showing the frustrated manager yelling about Lenny Yolo.
Ruben Amorim was seen visibly frustrated in the technical area during Manchester United’s 4-4 draw with Bournemouth on Monday night. The 40-year-old manager took his frustrations out on his behind-the-scenes team, targeting Lenny Yolo in particular.
Footage posted on social media by supporters showed Amorim gesticulating wildly as he sat back down, before shouting in his native Portuguese: “The ball has been flying for 30 minutes, what is Lennie doing?” The exact moment during the match remains unknown.
Earlier this month, Amorim suggested Yoro was “thinking too much” after the 20-year-old looked dejected on the substitute bench after being sent off in the 54th minute of United’s 2-1 win against Crystal Palace. “I also talked to him because he thinks too much,” he said.

“When he makes a mistake in a game, he struggles afterwards because he’s still too young and he tries to do everything right. He grows through games and setbacks, and it’s not easy for him to be young. He can’t show that (reaction) to people the way he did when he came on the bench. He understands that, but he was really frustrated.”
“It shows he cares. He knows it wasn’t his best game, but he did some things well, and I showed him that. He’s healthy and ready for the next challenge.”
Despite taking the lead three times at Old Trafford, United were unable to secure a win. Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha scored in quick succession to make it 4-3 with 10 minutes remaining.
Amad and Casemiro also scored, showing an improved performance in attack. However, the draw exposed United’s defensive weaknesses and meant they missed an opportunity to move up to fifth place in the Premier League.
“It’s really disappointing, we’re really disappointed,” Amorim said after the game. “Crazy game.
“It may look like we lost two points in the second half, but I think we lost them in the first half. We created far more chances. We should have gone into half-time with a different result.”
“In the end we should have been rewarded more. It was an enjoyable game for everyone at home. I think we started really well. The first half was very good. The result could have been completely different.”
“Then again, like with Nottingham (Forest), we lost concentration six minutes into the second half and they scored two goals, but we managed to get back into the game.
“We got two goals again, so we have to finish the game. We got the ball for the throw-in, so we have to stay calm and think about finishing the game without going again. At the end of the day, it was a fun game.”
