Is Manchester United the Worst Team Ever?

Manchester, United KingdomMon Jan 20 2025
Manchester United's current boss, Ruben Amorim, has called his team the "worst" in the club's history after losing 10 games this season. This puts them in 13th place, which is shockingly low for a club of their status. Amorim, who took over in November, knows this team hasn't been performing well. They've only earned 11 points out of a possible 33 in the Premier League under him, which is a big drop. This season could be their worst ever finish in the Premier League. It's a tough time for the team and their fans. They've been struggling for a while now, ever since legendary manager Alex Ferguson retired. Amorim was brought in to fix this, but things haven't improved much. The team has shown some good moments, like beating Manchester City before Christmas and recently drawing with Liverpool. But they've also had bad losses, like against Bournemouth and Newcastle. The players are still learning Amorim's new system, but he says he won't change his ways. There is some hope, though. The last time they lost 10 games in the first 22 was in the 1989-90 season. Guess who the manager was? A young Alex Ferguson, who went on to win 13 league titles for the club. So, maybe there's a chance for a turnaround. The team has a chance to bounce back when they play Rangers on Thursday and Fulham on Sunday.
