Overview

• Manchester United has lost six of their first 12 home games this season, a record not seen since the 1893-94 campaign.
• Manager Ruben Amorim criticized his players and described the current squad as the weakest in the club’s history, possibly aiming to provoke a response or push for January signings.
• The club's struggles are attributed to years of mismanagement, poor recruitment, and a lack of focus on on-field success since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
• Despite a £1.02 billion transfer expenditure since 2018, costly signings like Antony and Rasmus Hojlund have failed to deliver consistent performances.
• Recent ownership changes, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 27% stake and INEOS assuming football operations, have yet to reverse the team’s decline, leaving them 13th in the Premier League.
