Read MoreHalf an hour against Newcastle United taught Amorim that dogma is death to prospects if the idea is stupid.
The score could have been anything Newcastle wanted it to be in that opening half.
By the time Amorim hooked Joshua Zirkzee after 33 minutes Newcastle had also had a goal disallowed and hit a post. “Who the f**k are Man United?” asked the Newcastle fans. It was a fair question.
His withdrawal for Kobbie Mainoo and the temporary reversion to a more conventional 4-4-2 at least introduced a semblance of order. Indeed Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund shortly before the interval both missed excellent chances to score.

The defeat was United’s sixth in December alone, an unprecedented number that ought to concentrate minds in the boardroom let alone the dressing room.
Since he was booed by some fans on his arrival, that was perhaps a blessing.
