MAYBE THE WORST TEAM IN MAN UTD HISTORY – AMORIM
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has described his team as “maybe the worst” in the 147-year history of the club.
United’s 3-1 defeat by Brighton was the fourth loss in their past five home Premier League games.
They have collected 11 points in 11 league games since Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag in November.
United are 13th in the table – 10 points clear of the relegation zone but seven behind 10th-placed Fulham.
“In [the past] 10 games in Premier League, we won two,” said Amorim. “Imagine what this is for a fan of Manchester United. Imagine what this is for me.
“We are getting a new coach who is losing more than the last coach. I have full knowledge of that.
“We are the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United. I know you [media] want headlines but I am saying that because we have to acknowledge that and to change that. Here you go: your headlines.”
United did equalise after conceding an early goal against Brighton.
However, rather than Bruno Fernandes’ penalty becoming a springboard for a better display, they were badly outplayed.
