According to ESPN, the Red Devils boss was left hugely disillusioned by his start to life at Old Trafford.
Manchester United had won just one of their previous eight matches at the time in question.
Their most recent result had been a disastrous 3-1 home defeat to bogey club Brighton, and the reflection was worse when Amorim smashed a TV set in the dressing room out of frustration. The local media reported that after the hammering,Amorimquickly became “disenchanted” with how things were working out.
The Portuguese tactician even considered stepping down from the job he had taken just two months earlier.
But associates managed to “talk him out” of quitting.
At the same time, chiefs, including Omar Berrada reassured Amorim that he had the full backing of Sir Jim Ratcliffeand Ineos.
United have also told SunSport that although January was a low moment for the club, there was never a discussion about Amorim leaving his post.
The gaffer certainly looks set to be backed this summer with several new signings.
