Ruben Amorim has described his Man Utd side as “the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United”.
Brighton secured a 3-1 win at Old Trafford on Sunday to keep United mired in the bottom half of the Premier League as Amorim’s torrid start to his tenure at the club continued.
“In 10 games in the Premier League, we won two,” said Amorim.
“Imagine what this is for a fan of Manchester United. Imagine what this is for me. So we are getting a new coach that is losing more than the last coach. I have full knowledge of that.
“Like I said, I’m not going to change, no matter what. I know we can succeed, but we need to survive this moment. Because I’m not naive and I know that we need to survive now.
“We are being the worst team maybe 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. Here you go, your headlines.”
Bruno Fernandes claps supporters following Man Utd’s 3-1 loss to Brighton
United are currently 13th in the Premier League. Bruno Fernandes’ penalty was United’s only shot on target during their loss to Brighton.
“I don’t really get it at the moment,” said the United captain. “We talk all the time about how difficult it is to play at Old Trafford. How can it be that Man Utd has difficulties to play at their home ground with the atmosphere that we have, with the great stadium and everything?”
