As he celebrated, Maddison performed a “shushing” gesture, apparently aimed at former United captain turned pundit Roy Keane, who had questioned whether his return would make much difference to Spurs.
Not that United could cope there anyway with Amorim having little option but to bring back Casemiro – 32 and frankly appearing far older – alongside 30-year-old captain Bruno Fernandes.
Meanwhile, this United, the modern, functional or – rather dysfunctional – United have brought in five defenders as those forwards have left.
Five forwards have left United since the end of last season and only one – Zirkzee – has been signed.
The only goal came from James Maddison, on his return from injury having missed the last five games, as he tapped in from close range when Andre Onana could only push out a smart Lucas Bergvall shot.
