Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, is facing an uphill battle with the team's dismal performance. After a 3-1 defeat to Brighton, Amorim made shockingly candid remarks, labeling his team potentially the 'worst in Manchester United history.' Adding to the drama, reports surfaced that Amorim damaged a TV screen in the United dressing room following the match, suggesting a deeper struggle with his emotions. Previously celebrated as a hero at Sporting Lisbon, Amorim's transition to Old Trafford has been marked by frustration and anger.
Manchester United 's Portuguese head coach Ruben Amorim gestures on the touchline during the UEFA Europa League, League Phase football match against Bodoe/Glimt at Old Trafford stadium in Manchester, north west England, on November 28, 2024. When Amorim began his tenure as the new coach of The Red Devils in November, he knew he would have a massive challenge ahead with the struggling giants of English football.
Their wretched run has seen them hold 13th spot on the log, and they are now just 10 points above the relegation zone. Following their latest loss to Brighton over the weekend, Amorim said after the 3-1 drubbing: 'We are the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United.' These comments are certainly harsh, but what has also just emerged is that Amorim may be struggling to cope with just how badly his team has been performing. According to reports, Amorim damaged a TV screen in United’s changeroom after the Brighton match at Old Trafford on Sunday. That perhaps reveals even more than the harsh statements that Amorim has made in interviews and press conferences. At Sporting Lisbon, Amorim was regarded as a club hero. Amorim brought incredible success to Lisbon as he led the side to the Portuguese league title in 2020/2021 and again in 2023/2024. Football pundit Jamie Carragher described Amorim’s latest comments as bizarre and ridiculous. The job may just be more than Amorim can handle, but in the meantime the man definitely needs some help with dealing with his anger which seems to be bubbling over.
