• Coach says talking to squad post-game also a mistake
• Increased police presence for tie at home to Rangers

Ruben Amorim regrets saying his Manchester United team may be the worst in the club’s history and giving the post-match dressing down that reportedly damaged a television screen.

The head coach claimed that his public comments after ­Sunday’s 3-1 defeat by Brighton at Old ­Trafford were aimed more at his ­underperformance than his players. He also suggested changing-room criticism of his squad had been an error because he does not usually address them after a game.
