Ruben Amorim: we are the worst team in Man United history
Added 2026-01-13 07:00:07 +0000 UTCIn September 2024 the world was a very different place.
Sleepy Joe was in the White House, The United Strand had a short back and sides, and Ruben Amorim was the most vaunted young coach in Europe.
But 14 months on, United’s latest saviour left a familiar mess in his wake: seething fans, mutinous players and Gary Neville harping on about the Club’s DNA.
From naked fans to nightmares in Grimsby, this is the story of the Worst Manchester United team in history…

Having worked with him I can confirm that Goldbridge is very much a character. In my old job we made some content with him and behind the camera he’s very much a quiet, normal guy and when it starts rolling he switches. I remember being massively impressed by his ability to do that. He was a detective in his previous life.

2026-01-15 13:39:40 +0000 UTCAs a United fan but Amorim-believer I couldn’t finish this, but wish I’d sent in some good-authority stories from Amorim’s days bowling around Lisbon with David Luiz. Potential wrong ‘un status (in a good way)

2026-01-14 20:50:55 +0000 UTCThe bit about that Peaky Blinders lad in Jack’s cafe reminded me of a Rob Green quote. After joining West Ham I think a club journalist asked how he was settling in and he said it was fine, but he’s a bit different to the rest of the lads. The journalist asked him what he meant and he said he reads for pleasure.

The Upshot
2026-01-13 16:44:33 +0000 UTCAs a United fan, all you can do is laugh. How the players are playing are the least of the club’s problems. It’s an absolute circus from top to bottom, think we’re at our banter years stage now and the scary thing is there is no sign of it stopping anytime soon
