Ruben Amorim did not mince his words when he admitted his side might be the “worst” in the history of Manchester United after they slumped to a sixth home league defeat of the season in losing 3-1 to Brighton on Sunday.
After tributes were paid to the great Denis Law with a tribute of bagpipes led by Sir Allex Ferguson, the current crop of United players once again failed to live up to the storied history of this club as Yankuba Minteh fired the visitors in front inside five minutes.
Although Bruno Fernandes levelled from the penalty spot, courtesy of a gift from Brighton, Kaoru Mitoma had Brighton back in front on the hour before a horrendous error from Andre Onana was fittingly punished by Georginio Rutter to ensure there would be no late United fightback.
