Ruben Amorim gives his angriest and most upset interview yet as Man United manager, even the reporter noticed it

Ruben Amorim gave what both he and a Sky Sports reporter agreed was his angriest interview as Manchester United manager after claiming a 2-2 draw away at Anfield.

Prior to Sunday's game, United had lost four games in a row and the dismal defeat at home to Newcastle led to Amorim admitting that his side are in a relegation fight.

But to the surprise of many, they produced an impressive display against Liverpool and took the lead through Lisandro Martinez just after half-time.

Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah turned it around for the Reds before Amad Diallo levelled matters in the 80th minute. Harry Maguire had a golden chance to win it late on for United but blazed his effort over the bar.

Gary Neville said the display was United's best performance under Amorim and it offered a glimpse as to what this team could be capable of under his guidance.

Yet while there was a positive feeling coming out of the clash, Amorim was at his most mad post-match and said it was because of other recent games where they did not show their quality.

"You could see in the game that it was not like we were not suffering all the time because we controlled the ball, sometimes winning some fouls and controlling the transitions," Amorim told Sky Sports.

"It was a good game. I'm happy for the performance, but I'm not happy for the result. But I'm really, really mad because of the other games.

"I think we should get mad and disappointed - more than the other day against Newcastle, Bournemouth and Nottingham [Forest]. Today we need to be really disappointed."

Amorim confirmed he did not tell his players the honest words he told Patrick Davison, instead preferring to "say the right things" but admitting it is "hard to not really get mad" due to the frustration.

"I get more mad because of the other games...we need to fight REALLY bad to get out of this situation"

He congratulated his players for the performance but not the result.

Then, to finish, when Davison told Amorm it was "the most angry" he had seen him after a game, the 39-year-old replied: "Yeah, sometimes it's like that. Sometimes everybody's angrier with my players and I have to do the opposite.

"Today everyone is going to say the lads did everything right and I'm allowed to be upset today."

United return to action on Sunday when they play Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the third round of the FA Cup.
