Amorim labels his side 'maybe worst in Man Utd history' | OneFootball

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim held nothing back during his post-match press conference on Sunday.

The club lost 3-1 to an impressive Brighton side at Old Trafford for their 10th loss of the Premier League campaign. It leaves the Red Devils only 10 points off the relegation zone and feeling the heat.

Amorim admitted that something needs to change moving forward, with his side potentially the worst in club history.

“In 10 games in the Premier League we won two, I know that,” Amorim said. “Imagine this for a fan of Manchester United, imagine this for me.

“You are getting a new coach who is losing more than the last coach. Imagine that. We need to survive this moment. I know that.

“We are being maybe the worst team in the history of Manchester United. I know that you want headlines but I’m saying that because we have to acknowledge that and to change that. So there you go, your headline.”

With Amorim in charge, United have only earned 11 points from his 11 league games.

“It is hard to explain, we have to acknowledge the moment and not go around the problem,” he said.

“Everybody here is underperforming, no matter what the circumstances. It is unacceptable to lose so many games for any club in the Premier League, never mind Manchester United. It is a really hard moment but we have to continue.

“The opponents are better than us in many details. That we cannot be consistent. That I am not helping my players in the moment.

“It is a hard moment. We have to acknowledge we are in a very difficult situation. All the bad records, losing games at home, losing in the Premier League, we are really underperforming.”

Next up for United is a test against Rangers in the Europa League and then a trip to Fulham in the Premier League.
