Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, who was forced to the palace, made a strong impression with his 'water bottle kick of anger' and 'legend speech' in the final match.
Manager Amorim kicked a water bottle near the technical area at the 8th minute of the second half when it was 0-0 tight in the 38th round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on the 26th (Korea time).
The action came after Manchester United midfielder Casemiro's ball hit the left post.
Manchester United had a numerical advantage in the first minute of extra time when Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was sent off directly. He did not hide his anger when he missed the opportunity at the timing of the first goal. Mason Mount's shot was also blocked by the opposing goalkeeper in the 34th minute of the first half.
The water bottle kicked by Amorim extended far away. Fans who saw this scene joked, recalling the case where Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo was disciplined for kicking a water bottle 'Amorim would have been disciplined if he were the leader of the K-League.'

Manchester United didn't already have much to gain from the final game of the `Devastated Season.' It was destined to finish the season in 15th, 16th or 17th place. However, coach Amorim, who was beleaguered after losing 0-1 to Tottenham in the Europa League final on the 22nd and missing the championship cup, wanted the players to focus until the end.
Manchester United scored the first goal in the 31st minute of the second half. Ahmad Diallo shook the net by connecting Bruno Fernandes' picturesque defensive back-space pass with a non-stop header. Manchester United won 2-0 in the 42nd minute of the second half when Christian Eriksen scored an additional goal with a penalty kick.
Manchester United started in the league on March 17th, the first time in more than two months and eight games since its 3-0 victory over Leicester City. At the same time, he brought down Wolverhampton, who drew 1-1 with Brentford, and ended the season in 15th place. It is the lowest ranking in 50 years since 1975.
Manchester United failed to advance to the European club competition for the first time since the 2014-2015 season and for the second time since 1990.
Immediately after the end of the game, Amorim told the home supporter "First of all, I want to apologize for this season"On behalf of the team, he apologized to the fans.
"Now we have to choose. Whether it's tied to the past or whether it's going to work together to move forward. Six months ago, when I took over as the head coach of this team and had two wins and one draw in three games, I told you 'The storm is coming' After this catastrophic season, I would say that a good day will come soon. If there is one club in the world that can overcome any catastrophe, that is Manchester United. I really appreciated it. I'll see you next season." Standing ovation poured in from the stands, which seemed to mean support from coach Amorim.
After the match against Tottenham, Amorim said "If you want to cut me, I'll leave without a penalty. But I'm not going to quit first. I'll take responsibility and work hard to rebound the team."
Meanwhile, Villa missed out on a Champions League berth due to their shock defeat to Manchester United. Newcastle, ranked fifth, and Nottingham, ranked seventh, lost side by side, allowing them to regain fifth place and advance to the Champions League next season. Fifth-place Newcastle and sixth-place Villa tied with 66 points, but Newcastle led by 14 goals on the difference. '14 goals' has determined the fate of the Champions League.
