Ruben Amorim's Blast Exposes Depth Of Manchester United Decline

Ruben Amorim might not have been historically accurate when he labelled his Manchester United flops as 'maybe the worst team' in the club's history, but his astonishing claim did expose the extent of the problems facing the beleaguered boss.

Amorim responded to United's dismal 3-1 home defeat against Brighton on Sunday by branding his players among the worst in the club's illustrious history .

United are languishing in 13th place in the Premier League and have endured a painful series of ignominious losses since Amorim arrived from Sporting Lisbon to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag in November.

Already in disarray prior to Amorim's appointment, United have stumbled from one calamity to another under the Portuguese coach, with only rare signs of optimism in their draw at Liverpool and FA Cup win over Arsenal with 10 men.

United have suffered six home league defeats this season, their most from their opening 12 matches since the 1893-94 campaign.
