EPL: Ruben Amorim Regrets Calling Current Man Utd Team Worst In History

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has expressed regret over his earlier statement labeling the current squad as “the worst in the club’s history.”

During a press conference on Wednesday, Amorim clarified that his comments were aimed at himself rather than his players.

The 39-year-old made the controversial remark following a 3-1 defeat to Brighton last Sunday, which marked the team’s seventh loss in 15 games under his management.

Addressing the situation, Amorim said:
“First of all, I want to talk about that. I was talking more about myself than the players. I also said in the same response that I was not helping my players. If you look around every time I speak and every time you push about the players are not good enough, I never put the spot on my players.”

Amorim acknowledged that frustration sometimes gets the better of him, which can lead to regrettable remarks. He added:
“So I understand I give you that headline and I am frustrated sometimes. Sometimes I should not say it in those terms, but it is what it is and that’s it.

“Sometimes it’s really hard to hide the frustration in the moment. But the good thing is I said the same things in a different way in the dressing room five minutes before. The response was quite normal because I’m really blunt with my players.”

Despite the difficult run of form, Amorim admitted he would be “delusional” to overlook the significant challenges he faces as the team’s manager.
