The Stats Which Justify Ruben Amorim’s Claims"},"content":{"rendered":"

Ruben Amorim said this might be the worst Manchester United team in history after their 3-1 defeat to Brighton on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After recent positive results against Liverpool, Arsenal and Southampton, United are back at square one after the loss to Brighton left them 13th in the Premier League.<\/a><\/p>\n

“In 10 games in the Premier League, we won two<\/em>,” Amorim told reporters after the game.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amorim<\/a> replaced Erik ten Hag in November and acknowledged that results have not improved under his guidance.<\/p>\n

“Imagine what this is for a fan of Manchester United. Imagine what this is for me. So we are getting a new coach that is losing more than the last coach. I have full knowledge of that.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Like I said, I’m not going to change, no matter what. I know we can succeed, but we need to survive this moment. Because I’m not naive and I know that we need to survive now.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We are being the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United. I know that you want headlines, but I’m saying that because we have to acknowledge that and to change that. Here you go, your headlines.”<\/em><\/p>\n

When you look at the stats, Amorim might be slightly exaggerating when he called his team ‘maybe the worst’ in the club’s history. However, that is not by a long margin and when it comes to the Premier League’s history, he has a point.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Stats Which Explain Ruben Amorim’s ‘Worst Team’ Claim<\/h2>\n

There are a number of stats which might explain why Ruben Amorim described the current Manchester United<\/a> team as ‘maybe the worst’ in its history.<\/p>\n

At this stage of the season, only 13 United teams have had a lower points tally in the history of the club. In the last 50 years, only the 1986-87 (25) and 1989-90 (24) teams have fewer points than the Red Devils this term (26).<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most damning stat comes from United’s sixth home Premier League defeat of the season.# This is the most losses they recorded from their opening 12 home matches of a league season since 1893-84.<\/p>\n
