"I understand (criticism) but I don't care. Nothing is worse than losing games. People can say whatever they want to say," he said via Reuters.

The Portuguese coach highlighted areas for improvement, particularly after conceding the second goal early in the second half.

"When we suffer the second goal in the beginning of the second half, we went down and we need to be better in these moments, we need to control it," he added.

Amorim made five changes to his starting lineup, including handing Altay Bayindir his Premier League debut in goal. Despite Bayindir's error leading to Newcastle's fourth goal, Amorim refused to dwell on individual mistakes.

"Even if we put a different XI, we don't know the result, We are going to analyze the game, but we need to focus on the next one. Let's focus on the next one on Thursday to play better and to win the game."

United will host Lyon on Thursday at the Old Trafford in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final clash.
