Ruben Amorim said his Manchester United team may be the worst in the club's history after a 1-3 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday, January 19, 2025.

The Red Devils failed to record a single shot on target in an open game as Brighton dominated at Old Trafford.

The result means Amorism has suffered four home defeats in the Premier League since taking over as manager of Erik ten Hag, who was sacked at the end of October 2024.

"We got a new coach who lost more than the previous coach."

"I know fully about it. I'm not going to change, whatever happens. I know we can succeed, but we have to stay in this moment."

"I'm not naive. We have to defend now. We are the worst team, maybe, in the history of Manchester United."

"I know you want headlines, but I said that because we have to admit it and change it. This is it, your headlines," said Amorim.

After two positive results against Liverpool (2-2) and Arsenal (5-3 on penalties at the FA Cup), Amorim said he would learn more about his players during the match against Southampton and Brighton.

Manchester United survived a huge threat against Southampton, the Premier League's bottom team after winning 3-1.

However, a crushing defeat to Brighton at home destroyed the Portugal coach's positive record.

Amoritam kini telah kalah turun tujuh kali dari 15 pertandingannya sejak ditunjuk. Manchestere United berada di posisi ke 13 klasemen Liga Inggris, lima posisi dan 10 poin di atas zona relegasi.

"Everyone here is performing poorly, whatever the situation, we are performing poorly and have to accept it."

"Unacceptably losing so many games, for any Premier League club, let alone Manchester United."

"So, it's a very difficult moment, but we have to keep going. We have to keep going, there's no other way. We have to suffer and keep going," said the 39-year-old coach.

Manchester United will continue their journey in the 2024/2025 Europa League against Rangers on January 24, 2025 at Old Trafford.

They should not slip in order to secure the path of failure directly to the knockout stages. Currently, the Red Devils are in seventh place with 12 points from six matches (three wins and three draws).

There are two more matches that must be swept away in order to be safe to the knockout stages. Apart from being against Rangers, Manchester United is scheduled to travel to Steaua Bucarest headquarters.
