“We are the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United​,” said Ruben Amorim after Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton. The manager ​had paced up and down the touchline as his side managed just one shot on target in the match – and that was a Bruno Fernandes penalty.

United were always going to need time to adapt to the manager’s ideas but even he knows that a return of 11 points from 11 games is not good enough. “Imagine what this is for a fan of Manchester United, imagine what this is for me,” said Amorim. “We are getting a new coach who is losing more than the last coach.”
