Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim has been proven right after risking dressing room fury

ruffled feathers externally and risked sparking internal fury in January when he admitted that he was coaching the worst team in history. But against at confirmed that the Portuguese boss was correct on multiple counts. For him and this once-great football club, the summer can't come soon enough.

After a 3-1 home loss against Brighton and Hove Albion, United's 10th of the Premier League season, Amorim said: "We are being the worst, maybe, in the history of Manchester United. I am saying that because we have to acknowledge and change that. We've got all the bad records, like losing games at home and losing games in the Premier League. So we are really underperforming, and we need to win games, that's all."

Three months on, little has changed apart from those outraged by Amorim's brutally blunt assessment becoming quieter.

Amorim will take no pleasure in his comments coming true, but Pablo Sarabia's winning free-kick finally confirmed what he has accepted since the start of the year.

United's defeat against Wolves was their 15th of the Premier League season, the most of any of the club's sides since the 1989/90 campaign, which involved 16 losses in Division One.

It was also an eighth defeat at Old Trafford, an unwanted feat that hadn't been recorded since the Red Devils were beaten nine times in 1962/63.

The grim reading doesn't end there. United are condemned to produce the club's lowest-ever points tally in Premier League history.

Amorim's side are slumped on 38 points after 33 games and can only reach 53 if they win their final five outings.

United set their current record in the 2021/22 season while helmed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, accumulating 58 points.

It's difficult to see a reality where United get close to that total with games against Bournemouth, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Brentford and West Ham United to come.

But wait, there's more. Erik ten Hag's side set the record for the lowest Premier League finish by a United team last season by ending up in eighth.

The M16 giants missed out on European football altogether until their FA Cup triumph booked a spot in the Europa League.

United are currently 11 points behind eighth-placed Bournemouth with five games left and are at serious risk of slipping lower than 14th.

Relegation is off the table, but just two points separate United and 17th, which would make them the Premier League's worst team that doesn't drop into the Championship.

All eyes are understandably on the Europa League semi-final against Athletic Club, but United can't afford to continue the domestic losing trend if they want to salvage any pride they have left.
