Ruben Amorim admits he was wrong to brand his team as ‘maybe the worst in the history of Manchester United’ and says frustration got the better of him. Amorim came out with the alarming comment after United suffered a seventh defeat in 15 games under their new head coach against Brighton on Sunday. The 39-year-old also damaged a TV in the dressing-room during a post-match rant at Old Trafford.

Amorim accepted that he could have chosen his words more carefully, but said he would be ‘delusional’ to try and paint the current situation any other way. ‘I’m a young guy and sometimes I make a mistake,’ he said ahead of Thursday’s Europa League tie against Rangers.

‘That’s why I don’t talk after the game. This game, I needed to talk and maybe it was a mistake and then I get more nervous and go to the press conference really nervous and say things I shouldn’t say, that’s it. I don’t promise you I won’t do it again, but I will try to improve.

‘Sometimes I should not say it in those terms, but it is what it is. I understand I give you that headline and I am frustrated sometimes. Amorim says frustration got the better of him when he labelled his Manchester United side 'maybe the worst in the club's history'.

His comments came in the wake of another poor result for the Red Devils - a 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton on Sunday. Goalkeeper Andre Onana made another high-profile error which Brighton capitalised on to score their third goal. ‘Sometimes it’s really hard to hide the frustration in the moment. But the good thing is I said the same things in a different way in the dressing-room five minutes before. The response was quite normal because I’m really blunt with my players.
