Manchester United head coach Rubén Amorim has faced the press after another disappointing defeat, this time against Brighton at Old Trafford. He said he would not make excuses for the team’s poor performance. Amorim called the current squad “the worst in the club’s history”, acknowledging their below-expected form and the urgent need for change. Despite just three wins in eleven Premier League matches since his arrival in November, the Portuguese coach has expressed cautious optimism about the future.
After a painful 1-3 defeat to Brighton, Amorim made it clear he would not avoid the reality of the situation. “We are without a doubt the worst team in the history of Manchester United. We must recognize this and aim to change this. Here is your title,” he said, visibly frustrated during the post-match press conference.

Since his appointment two months ago, the Red Devils’ performances have been under scrutiny, with Amorim admitting: “Imagine what this means for the fans, and for me too. We now have a new coach who loses more than the last one. I am fully aware of this. »
-However, he also highlighted the possibility of improvement, saying: “We can succeed, but we must overcome this moment. » He acknowledged that the team was collectively underperforming: “Each of us is not fulfilling our potential, and we have to accept that. We must continue; there is no other option,” added the former Lisbon coach, who left Portugal to try to revive this struggling English team.
Amorim insisted on the unacceptable nature of the current situation: “We cannot accept losing so many matches. I will not change my perspective on football. » He also chose not to elaborate on the absence of Marcus Rashford, who has been on the flank for several matches and who could potentially leave the club during the next winter transfer window.
