Ruben Amorim is wrong, this isn’t the worst Man Utd team in history… I played in a worse one under Sir Alex Ferguson

RUBEN AMORIM declared on Sunday that his struggling side might be the worst Manchester United team in history. But hero of the Sir Alex Ferguson era Gary Pallister disagrees with the current boss' assessment. Pallister, 59, played for the Red Devils between 1989 and 1998 - winning four Premier League titles and three FA Cups along the way.

He reckons that one of his early United sides was even worse than the current crop. Speaking to Punters Lounge, who offer the latest horse racing betting, Pallister said: "Is this the worst Manchester United team of all time?. "I remember us going to Millwall in the middle of April in 1990 and if we had lost we would’ve gone into the bottom three.

“Because of that I’d say I have actually played in a United team that was worse than this one, despite having players like Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes, Paul Ince, Brian McClair, Danny Wallace, Lee Sharpe and myself in there. "That team went on to win the Premier League in 1993 so it’s not all doom and gloom, there are good players who are just struggling to find a way and put it all together.

"Ruben Amorim made that comment preempting what people might say after the Brighton result, he said it with a wry smile. "Having said that, it’s a bit messy at the moment and the club are fighting transfer rules with more talks about players leaving, it’s a concerning time for everyone associated with United. We are not in a good place.".
