The Portuguese manager watched his side get off to an electric start after Amad Diallo teed up Marcus Rashford inside the first 90 seconds.
The Red Devils' dominance in the game, however, waned off as Kieran McKenna's side upped the ante. The pressure finally paid off just a few minutes before halftime when Omari Hutchinson bent one past Andre Onana.
Ruben Amorim calls out one player
Speaking after the game, Amorim took issue with his players' reaction time, singling out Johnny Evans.
"If you see the first half, the number five was always alone; we have to jump on him. Then, the number 20, Hutchinson, was always here in the dead space. Jonny Evans should be pressing that guy. But when we don't have training, it's hard to tell all the reactions of the players. We had two days. They are confused a little bit and they stay here. If you stay here, you don't run," he said on Sky Sports.
Manchester United's next games
Amorim will only have a few days to correct what he saw. They're at home in the Europa League on Thursday against Bodo/Glimt. He will then play Everton on Sunday before facing Arsenal mid-next week.
