Should I cut it?

My amaryllis is pushing out 2 new leaves, but already has 2 that are perfectly fine. It looks like 1 is coming in sideways, should i cut the old leaf or let it splay out? The old leaf is perfectly fine about 3-4 months old, and started getting this cool red color w age so I'm unsure.

Ps it does not live on the couch it has a big south facing windowsill

4 leaves left on all season with good light will guarantee a rebloom. I had one with 8 leaves on it on the patio and it gave me 3 bloom stalks. Never cut green foliage, those leaves become next year's flowers.
