However, Dorgu and Man United bounced back to lead 2-1 before the Danish defender was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Omari Hutchinson.

Referee Darren England was asked to review the challenge. It didn't take long for him to show the new signing a straight red card.

Amorim decided to take off Garnacho, keep Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee and switch to a 5-3-1 formation. Noussair Mazraoui replace the Argentina international.

The 20-year-old was visibly surprised by the substitution and headed straight to the tunnel. He later shared a photo on Instagram to voice his frustration.

Harry Maguire's header early in the second half gave the struggling Red Devils something to hang on to. They did and secured three important points.

VAR recommended an on-field review for a possible red card to Dorgu for the challenge on Hutchinson – with the contact deemed serious foul play. Upon review, the referee issued a red card to Dorgu," Premier League Match Centre wrote.

After the game, Amorim said he will have a chat with the youngster.

"I felt the team was okay and the controlling of the game at half-time. And then we make the sub and we had to choose someone to go out. We also had to think about set pieces. So that was my choice," he said via MEN.

"You are making a connection with Rashford, right? I know, I know. What I am saying is I am going to talk with Garnacho about that. I will talk about that if you want in the next press conference."

Amorim dropped Garnacho on December 15 alongside Marcus Rashfrod for disciplinary action. However, it is unlikely he will punish him for going to the dressing room after substitution.

In December, Zirkaee was substituted after 30 minutes, but he received overwhelming support after that difficult moment.

TUKO.co.ke earlier reported that former Man United boss Erik ten Hag sent a message to thin-skinned players.

The Dutchman claimed players of this era cannot be criticised because it will demotivate them.
