RUBEN AMORIM believes he is in charge of the "worst Manchester United team in history".
The 39-year-old warned fans to expect more suffering after United suffered a fourth defeat in five Premier League home games.
And some fans believe Andre Onana is the "worst Man Utd keeper in history" after his shocking blunder sealed Brighton's comfortable 3-1 win on a day that United paid tribute to legend Denis Law.
Amorim was given another gut-punch on Sunday after goals from Yankuba Minteh, Kauro Mitoma and Georginio Rutter.
The new Old Trafford boss said: “We are the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United.
“I know you want headlines but I am saying that because we have to acknowledge that and change that. So there you go, your headline.
“In ten games in the Premier League we won two, I know that. Imagine this for a fan of Manchester United, imagine this for me.
“You are getting a new coach who is losing more than the last coach. Imagine that. We need to survive this moment. I know that.”
United's record at home this season is the club’s worst in the league in 131 years.
They have not lost six games at Old Trafford in 12 opening league appearances since the 1893-94 season, when they lost seven.
Amorim's side are 13th in the table after 22 matches and sit closer to the relegation zone (10 points) than they do the top four (12).
The Portuguese manager has tried to implement the 3-4-3 formation which worked so well for him at Sporting.
And he insisted he will not change his approach after United registered one shot on target during Brighton's easy win.
Amorim added: "With me, it is clear I'm not going to change the way I see the game. I'm very clear on that.
"The players are going to suffer, I'm sorry, the fans are going to suffer.
"I have one way of doing things, I know it's going to bring results. But we have to suffer these moments. I think it's very clear for everybody what we are going to do."
United have picked up 11 points from his first 11 games in charge, but Amorim believes the club has to "stick together".
He added: “It is hard to explain, we have to acknowledge the moment and not go around the problem.
“Everybody here is underperforming, no matter what the circumstances.
“It is unacceptable to lose so many games for any club in the Premier League, never mind Manchester United. It is a really hard moment but we have to continue.
“The opponents are better than us in many details. That we cannot be consistent. That I am not helping my players in the moment.
“It is a hard moment. We have to acknowledge we are in a very difficult situation. All the bad records, losing games at home, losing in the Premier League, we are really underperforming.”
Brighton had won five of their last six Premier League meetings with United prior to Sunday's clash.
They have now extended that record to six wins from seven dating back to May 2022.
Amorim's comments come just weeks after Gary Neville called his former club the "worst team in the country."
