We are being the worst team, perhaps, in the history of Manchester United. We have to recognize it.” Those were the harsh words of the team’s coach, Rúben Amorim, after losing, again, this time against Brighton (1-3) at Old Trafford.
Let us remember that United have lost five of the last eight games, among all competitions. Currently, they are in 13th place in the Premier League, 10 points above the relegation zone.
The numbers with the three United coaches this season are these (wins-draws-losses): Erik ten Hag: 4-6-4; Ruud van Nistelrooy: 3-1-0; Rúben Amorim: 5-3-7. That is to say, Amorim already has more defeats than anyone else.
“We have to try to fix this situation,” he said as an epitaph today after pronouncing one of the phrases from what we have in the Premier: “We are being the worst team, perhaps, in the history of Manchester United.” There it is nothing.
