The goal equalized the match, but United maintained a 3-1 aggregate advantage.
Amorim sparked rumors when he returned to the sidelines after the break with a bandage on his knuckles.
Supporters speculated on how he might have injured himself, recalling past instances of the Portuguese manager losing his temper.
After a defeat to Brighton in January, Amorim was known to have damaged a TV screen in the club’s changing room during a tense team discussion.
He later admitted to his error and vowed not to let such behavior happen again.
However, after apparently injuring his knuckles during the halftime break on Thursday, fans speculated that he might have once again vented his frustrations in the dressing room.
One fan remarked: “Amorim has a bandage on his knuckles… did another TV get punched? 😂”
Another laughed: “Did someone check on the TVs in the changing room? Amorim has a bandage on his knuckles! 🤣🤣”

A third chimed in: “Amorim definitely hit something in the dressing room at halftime. Did you notice the bandage on his left hand?”
Another added: “Amorim put a bandage on the back of his hand?”
‘Were we not good enough?’ – Man Utd legend Roy Keane takes a playful jab at David Beckham over 50th birthday snub.
Whatever was discussed by the United manager at halftime clearly had an effect, as Mason Mount ignited the comeback 18 minutes from time.
He skillfully turned and finished, then capped off the win with a spectacular shot from near the halfway line after Rasmus Hojlund and Casemiro had added to the tally.
Man Utd ratings vs Bilbao as magnificent Mount sends Red Devils to Europa League final but ineffective Garnacho hooked early
MANCHESTER UNITED nearly booked their spot in the Europa League final last week.
Despite a rocky start in the first half, there was no doubt at Old Trafford on Thursday night as the Red Devils clinched a 4-1 comeback victory against Athletic Bilbao.
Mikel Jaureguizar sent a wave of anxiety through the crowd with his brilliant goal after half an hour.
United struggled to find their groove, raising concerns about a potential disaster.
However, when Ruben Amorim turned to his bench, the game turned around – Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount played pivotal roles in Mount’s exquisite equalizer.
Casemiro then found the net with a smart header, followed by a tap-in from Rasmus Hojlund.
Mount finished in style with a long-range shot into an empty net, bringing joy to the crowd.
Now United are gearing up for a thrilling encounter against Spurs later this month to salvage their season.
Bring on, Bilbao…
