The team continues to show very inconsistent football under the command of Rúben Amorim.
Manchester United were defeated 3-1 to Brighton last Sunday, the 19th, at Old Trafford in a match for the 22nd round of the Premier League. The goals came from Minteh, Mitoma, and Rutter, while Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty for the home team. Get the latest in football results from football score ai.
The Red Devils are in a terrible moment. With the loss to Brighton, the team reached its sixth defeat in 12 home games, marking the worst home start in 131 years. At that time, the team was still called Newton Heath. The campaign is so poor that Rúben Amorim vented in a post-match interview.
“We are, perhaps, the worst team in Manchester United history. I’m not saying this to make headlines, but because we have to recognize it and change this situation. Imagine what this means for the fans, imagine what it means for me,” he said.
Looking at the numbers, the situation is even worse. In nine Premier League rounds, United won only two, one of which was against the bottom-placed Southampton, which is on track to have the worst campaign in the league’s history. Even then, the match wasn’t easy, as the Red Devils were losing 1-0 until the very end, when young prospect Amad Diallo made a decisive impact.
After yet another disappointing result, United turns its attention to the Europa League, where the team is performing better. With 12 points from six games, the team has three wins and three draws, placing them in 7th, and it’s unlikely they’ll miss out on the knockout stage. Their next match will be Thursday, 23rd, against Rangers, who sit in 8th place. Stay on top of the game with BB Score.
