Man United conceded early in the second half after a mistake by goalkeeper Onana. Hojlund - who came on in the second half - scored twice to help Man United make a dramatic comeback, helping the team to their first away win in European competition since beating Real Betis in March 2023.
But the Danish striker and Amad were separated by Lisandro Martinez after the full-time whistle, with the pair accused of not passing the ball to each other during a number of late counter-attacks.
"Yes, I know that Hojlund and Amad had a fight. For me, that's perfect. That shows that they care about each other. That's very clear. For me, that's very good for the team.
I think arguing is normal. I see it as a positive, healthy sign, so I asked the players and captains to talk to each other and calm down.
If I see something is too much, I will work with them in the locker room. But on the pitch it is their space, they have to talk, they have to fight. Again, for me, that is very important," said coach Amorim.
The victory over Plzen helped Man United gain 12 points, rising to 7th place. This achievement gives them more opportunities to be in the Top 8, thereby winning a ticket straight to the knockout round of the Europa League.
The win also provided a boost for United ahead of their Premier League trip to Manchester City this weekend. “I’m happy that Manchester United won the game and the team fought together. That’s a good thing. When your team wins and the players fight for each other, want to score more goals, for me it’s a great day.
The way we scored showed it was important we didn't give up - a very important message for Man United," the Man United coach concluded.
