Manchester United head coach, Ruben Amorim has described his side as the worst team in the history after they suffered another Premier League defeat this time, at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion.
Goals from Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter were enough to secure a deserved 3-1 win at Old Trafford on Sunday, a third-straight victory at the ground for the Seagulls.
United have now lost four of their last six matches in the league to sit closer to the relegation zone (10 points) than the top four (12).
The Red Devils were only seven points behind in the top four race when Erik ten Hag was sacked back in October and Amorim admits everything must improve.
“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.”
“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.”
United are currently 13th on the Premier League table with Bruno Fernandes’ penalty being United’s only shot on target during their loss to Brighton.
Amorim will be looking to make some ‘changes’ when United take on Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday.
