Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim expressed regret for his previous statement that the current team is the worst in the club’s history.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Amorim clarified that he was taking responsibility for the team’s performance rather than criticizing his players.

The 39-year-old had made the remark after the team’s 3-1 loss to Brighton on Sunday. Despite acknowledging significant problems during his tenure, with seven losses in 15 games, Amorim emphasized that he would be “delusional” to ignore the challenges he faces.

He said: “First of all, I want to talk about that.

“I was talking more about myself than the players. I also said in the same response that I was not helping my players. If you look around every time I speak and every time you push about the players are not good enough, I never put the spot on my players.

“So I understand I give you that headline and I am frustrated sometimes. Sometimes I should not say it in those terms, but it is what it is and that’s it.

“Sometimes it’s really hard to hide the frustration in the moment. But the good thing is I said the same things in a different way in the dressing room five minutes before. The response was quite normal because I’m really blunt with my players.”
