Ruben Amorim is right to highlight how bad his team are - but the history books show United have fielded inferior sides in the past

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has labeled his side the “worst team” in the club’s history after yet another chastening Premier League defeat on Sunday.

It's either part of some high-stakes 10-dimensional strategy we cannot fathom or signs of a man with a kamikaze pilot approach to emotional restraint.

When you look at the stats, Ruben Amorim was slightly exaggerating when he called his team "maybe the worst" in the club's history. But not by a lot. At this stage of the season, only 13 Manchester United teams have had a lower points tally in the history of the club - the last time being in 1986-87.
