I played in the 1974 Man Utd side that got relegated and have no idea why Amorim said current team is our worst ever

LOU MACARI woke up yesterday morning still scratching his head over why Ruben Amorim would call his team ‘maybe the worst in Manchester United’s history’. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who spent £1.03billion to buy a 25 per cent stake in the Red Devils and replaced Erik ten Hag with Amorim in November, is bound to be asking the same question.

The Portuguese could now be facing a player rebellion, with at least half of the squad knowing they are not wanted. One of those who looks to be on the way out is £85.5million one-trick pony Antony, who is a loan target for Spanish side Real Betis. Macari spent 11½ years at Old Trafford after joining the club in January 1973.

The Scot, 75, insists he is an Amorim supporter but cannot work out what the point of his Sunday night bombshell was — especially with United in crisis. Macari said: “I don’t know why he said it. It doesn’t do any good to say something like that. Not at all.”.

Amorim made his shock statement following the 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton — and the stats seem to back him up. The loss to the Seagulls marked a sixth home league defeat of the season — the most from United’s opening 12 home games since the 1893-94 campaign when they were still called Newton Heath.

Macari was at Old Trafford on Sunday along with many other of United’s famous former players to pay tribute to club legend Denis Law, whose death at age 84 was announced on Friday.

After the upset of losing his old friend and former United and Scotland team-mate, Macari was left baffled by Amorim’s damning indictment — and worries about the effect it could have.
