Manchester, Jan 20 (UNI) Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has described his team as “maybe the worst” in the 147-year history of the club after defeated by Brighton in Premier League on Sunday at Old Trafford stadium.
United’s 3-1 defeat by Brighton was the fourth loss in their past five home Premier League games, according to a BBC report.
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.
Kaoru Mitoma put the visitors back in front before a horrendous mistake from goalkeeper Andre Onana gifted Georginio Rutter Brighton’s third.
