Ruben Amorim told what he did last night was the final straw after making ‘utterly unforgivable’ decision

All eyes are once again on Ruben Amorim after his Manchester United side slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Everton.

To make matters worse, the Red Devils were against 10 men since the 13th minute of the clash.

Idrissa Gana Gueye was shown a straight red card in the early stages at Old Trafford after referee Tony Harrington spotted him in a heated exchange with teammate Michael Keane, which culminated with Gueye appearing to push the Toffees defender in the face.

Old Trafford erupted at the decision, delighted at the prospect of Amorim’s men having a one-player advantage with over an hour left to play.

Yet, a scintillating strike from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall threw a spanner in the works in the 29th minute.

Unrelenting attacks from the hosts continued after the opener, well into the second half and the dying embers, though none were enough to get past Jordan Pickford , who oversaw one of his most tremendous displays of the campaign thus far.

When Harrington blew for full-time, it marked United’s fourth loss of the term, as well as the 18th of Amorim’s Premier League tenure .

12 months to the day of his first outing as United’s head coach, the Portuguese’s record stands at just 45 points in 39 matches.

“And that’s why Amorim is not the one. To not change the flawed system v ten men for so long is utterly unforgivable. Players were terrible but that’s mainly on the manager,” said talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook post-match.

Next up for United is a trip to face an in-form Crystal Palace team at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon.
