Manchester United’s Ruben Amorim claimed his team is “maybe the worst team in the history” of the club after their 3-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion.
- “In 10 games in the Premier League, we won two; I know that,” Amorim acknowledged. “Imagine for the fans of Manchester United, getting a new coach who is losing more than the last coach. We need to survive this moment. I know that. We are being maybe the worst team in the history of Manchester United. I say this to acknowledge the situation and to change it”.
(Imagine this from a Manchester United fan’s perspective: getting a new coach just to lose even more than the previous one. This situation must be overcome. Amorim candidly stated they’re perhaps the worst iteration in United’s entire history.)
The statistics reflect a harsh reality: United currently have 10 league defeats, the fastest they have reached that mark since Sir Alex Ferguson’s 1989-1990 season. They sit 13th in the Premier League, closer to the relegation zone than to the top four spots.
- Amorim lamented, “This moment is difficult to explain; everyone is underperforming despite the circumstances. Losing so many matches is unacceptable for any club in the Premier League, especially Manchester United.”
- The team’s record-low performances this season are a grim reminder of their past successes under Ferguson.
Ultimately, this version of Manchester United could indeed be the worst the club has ever seen, with failings across multiple facets of their game and a glaring lack of consistency.
