Amorim: 'We Are the Worst Team in Manchester United's History'
The tension at Manchester United reached a boiling point as head coach Rúben Amorim delivered a brutally honest assessment following the team's latest defeat at Old Trafford against Brighton. In a press conference filled with stark self-reflection, Amorim didn't shy away from the team's struggles, even going as far as labeling them "the worst team in the club's history."
Harsh Self-Criticism
"Surely, we are the worst team in the history of Manchester United. We have to acknowledge it and try to change it. There's the headline you're looking for," Amorim stated, visibly frustrated with his squad's performance. Since his appointment in November, the Portuguese manager has managed only three wins in 11 Premier League matches, leaving fans disillusioned and intensifying the scrutiny on his tenure.
"Imagine what this means for a Manchester United fan, and also what it means for me. There’s a new manager who’s losing more than the previous one. I understand that perfectly," he added, acknowledging the weight of expectations surrounding the club.
Looking Ahead
Despite the grim reality, Amorim expressed a determination to guide the team out of their slump. "We can succeed, but we have to overcome this moment. Everyone is underperforming, and we need to take responsibility for that. We have to keep going—there's no other way," he emphasized.
Amorim also stood firm on his philosophy, dismissing any notion of abandoning his vision for short-term fixes. "I won't change my way of seeing football," he declared, signaling his commitment to his methods despite the ongoing challenges.
