Ruben Amorim has openly said that his Manchester United team may end up being the worst in the Premier League's history. Manchester United has dropped to 14th position following a run of 14 losses, and after another humiliating loss against Newcastle, they are now unable to top their lowest points total of 58 in the Premier League.
Altay Bayindir, the Red Devils' stand-in goalkeeper, had a rough time following the manager's audacious decision to sit star goalkeeper Andre Onana for the Europa League second leg against Lyon. During his post-match press conference, Amorim acknowledged the following in light of the disappointing season, "It is a reflection of our season, we need to accept that and to move forward and try to do things so much better in the future so we don't have this kind of season," he said.
Amorim made five changes to his starting lineup, putting the team on track for its worst-ever Premier League point total. "I understand (criticism), but I don't care. Nothing is worse than losing games. People can say whatever they want to say. I don't want to defend myself or anything like that. If you look at our position in the table, it says it all," Amorim added.
Manchester United chance to advance in Semi-final of UEL
On Thursday, they will play Olympique Lyonnais in the second leg of their Europa League quarterfinal. "We are going to analyze the game, but we need to focus on the next one. We cannot change this one. The next one is massive for us, so let's focus on the next one on Thursday to play better and to win the game." Now Manchester United will visit Lyon on Thursday in the hopes of advancing to the Europa League semi-finals following a 2-2 draw in the first leg of this quarterfinal match in France.
