Alejandro Garnacho will buy Manchester United team-mates dinner after storming down the tunnel following his substitution against Ipswich on Wednesday night.
The 20-year-old was hooked after Patrick Dorgu received a straight red card, with Noussair Mazraoui brought on in his place.
Garnacho did, to his credit, appear to suggest he was changing his shirt affter his substitution.
However, the sight of him storming down the tunnel has fuelled talk that he’s unhappy with Amorim behind the scenes.

Now, speaking ahead of United’s FA Cup tie with Fulham on Sunday, Amorim has revealed Garnacho will buy his team-mates dinner as punishment.
“He came to me,” the 40-year-old explained.
“It was funny because the next day he came to my office.
“I did some investigations; he went to the dressing-room, changed his clothes because he was wet, he watched the game, not on the bench, and at the end of the game he was there and went home.
“There’s not an issue. But I told him that at Manchester United everything is important and perception at a big club is really important.
“He is going to pay a dinner for all the team and that is it.”
Amorim also insists Garnacho will ‘learn’ from the experience.
“He is a young kid that will learn,” he continued. “The important thing is that in the next morning he was speaking with me.

“We need to see the small things in walking out of the pitch. [Joshua] Zirkzee did the same thing and the context was better. The players have to understand the perception here was really important.”
Meanwhile, Amorim was also asked about Roy Keane’s decision to rip into Bruno Fernandes.
The ex-Red Devils captain was scathing in his assessment of the United captain and said the team was full of ‘imposters’.
That’s despite Fernandes shining against Ipswich, where he was named the player of the match.

And Amorim inists he’s unfazed by Keane’s remarks because his opinion is more important.
“I heard about that, I have a different opinion,” stated the former Sporting Lisbon coach.
“Roy Keane has big standards from his time. I think my opinion is more important than Roy Keane because I am the coach.
“Bruno is really important for us in the club, especially for me.

“He is playing well in a difficult context. He wants always the responsibility.
“I know as a captain he does things sometimes with his arms, criticising the team-mates.
“Most of all it is a bit of frustration. He wants to win and sometimes it is difficult to deal with that frustration.”
