MU’s horror stats laid bare as Amorim equals record from year club RELEGATED

Manchester United's nightmares took another blow with defeat against West Ham.

And the horror statistics mean that the Red Devils have now matched their worst count ever to lose to the home competition in one season.

The 2-0 Nightmare result against the Hammers left United 16th in the Premier League table with two more games and still to reach the 40-point brand.

It was their record-similar ninth defeat of the season.

That is the same number if they succeeded in building in the relegation season of 1930-31 and also in 1962-63.

It is never managed in the Premier League era-with eight League Home Losses in 1893-94, 1920-21 and 1961-62.

To make matters worse, the 26th minute Opener of Tomas Soucek yesterday ensured that only one team went at home more with 1-0 than this Prem period united.

The West Ham competition was the 12th time that United first admitted in Old Trafford.

That is level with ippswich in joint second with leicester at the top of the unwanted table with 15.

The Foxes lost famous nine home games in a row without scoring from mid -December until it finally scored against and beat Southampton on 3 May.

Even basement boys saints went home 1-0 only 11 times this season – level with Tottenham and West Ham.

And Amorim runs the risk of setting a new Premier League record for the longest Windless Run from United.

The Red Devils have won none of their last seven league matches.

That horror form includes defeats for Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Wolves, Brentford and West Ham and pulls against Manchester City and Bournemouth since he defeated Leicester on 16 March.

Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge, the only other time that United was in Zeven without a win – with that streak ended far back in November 1992.

Louis van Gaal went to taste six games without winning until November 2015, while Ferguson twice (1995 and 2007), Jose Mourinho (2017) and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (2019) each with five matches Windless Runs.

United is facing Chelsea Weg on Friday evening, where they could set their new record with eight.

And Amorim's side host Aston Villa on the last day of the season where they desperately hope to go down with 1-0 for the 13th time and to avoid a record-breaking tenth home images of the shocking campaign.

Unbelievable, or 16th placed United States or 17th placed Tottenham will play Champions League football next season while they are preparing to be confronted in the Europa League final next Wednesday.

But Amorim admitted that he may not be in charge for Old Trafford much longer and is willing to resign as a manager if he cannot turn the disasters.

The Portuguese Gaffer said: “I don't want to talk about the players. I'm talking about myself and the culture in the club and the culture in the team. I have that feeling.

“We have to change that and we must be really strong in the summer and be brave.

“Because we don't have season next year. If the feeling is still there, we have to give the space to different people.

“So it's a big problem that we have here at the club. It is a decisive moment in the history of the club. We have to tackle that.

“We lose the feeling that we are a huge club and the feeling that this is not the biggest thing in the world that loses a game at home.

“We no longer have that fear and that is the most dangerous one that a big club can have.

“I think it's a concern. It is not the blame of the players. It is my fault, I am responsible.

“If we can't change that so quickly, we have to give our place to different people.

“If you look at the goals we suffer, we can avoid these goals. The lack of energy, of urgency. Those are the most dangerous things in this club.

“You can feel it at the start of the game. There is a lack of urgency between our box and the opponent's box. That is something that we have to change in this club.”
