Man Utd player's relationship with Ruben Amorim hits 'all-time low' after Liverpool draw

There is drama behind the scenes in the Manchester United dressing room.

Ruben Amorim's relationship with one Manchester United star has reached breaking point following his side's 2-2 draw at Anfield.

United finally ended their run of four straight defeats on Sunday against Liverpool, as Amorim picked up a well-deserved point against the Premier League leaders.

Liverpool were arguably lucky to escape with a point, after initially falling behind due to a fantastic strike from Lisandro Martinez. However, an equaliser from Cody Gakpo and a well-taken penalty from Mo Salah put the hosts in the driving seat.

Despite going behind, United continued to cause Arne Slot's side problems, and put the scores level through Liverpool's FA Cup nemesis, Amad Diallo, with 10 minutes to play.

Harry Maguire then spurned a magnificent chance to win the game in the final seconds, as the England international launched the ball into the stands from close range.

Despite the clear improvement in performance from his team, Amorim's relationship with one United star has reportedly reached an all-time low.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Amorim is now desperate to sell Joshua Zirkzee due to the pair's relationship completely breaking down.

The report also links Zirkzee with a return to Serie A, with Italian giants Juventus interested in signing the 23-year-old.

However, a deal between the two clubs seems unlikely as Juventus are only interested in a loan deal, while Amorim and United would like to get Zirkzee off their books for good.

Zirkzee has scored more goals (3) in less minutes than fellow United forward Rasmus Hojlund, however, Amorim appears to prefer the profile of the Dane.

The Dutch international was recently dragged off to boos and jeers from his own supporters after just half an hour against Newcastle.

The incident left Zirkzee close to tears as he stormed down the Old Trafford tunnel, which led to Gary Neville expressing sympathy for the striker on commentary.

"I actually feel sorry for Joshua Zirkzee," Neville said on Sky Sports.

"I know he's earning a lot of money but there is a human being in there that's basically been cheered off by his own fans. That is brutal. I've not seen that too many times in the 43 years I've been coming here."
