Man Utd set a series of disastrous records, coach Amorim said something surprising

(Dan Tri) - Man Utd set a series of bad records after losing 0-1 to Chelsea in round 37 of the Premier League last night. However, coach Amorim still sees positive signs.

Last night, Man Utd suffered a 0-1 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in round 37 of the Premier League. This defeat left the Red Devils in 16th place on the table with 39 points. They have suffered a series of unwanted records.

Accordingly, this is Man Utd's 18th defeat this season. This is the club's worst performance since the 1973/74 season, the season they were relegated. Not only that, the Manchester team has also gone 8 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory in the domestic league, the worst since 1990.

Man Utd have been virtually out of the Premier League since the start of April. They have only picked up two points from eight games. No other team in the league has picked up fewer points.

Coach Ruben Amorim's team is also 27 points behind the top 5 (participating in the Champions League) and 44 points behind the leader Liverpool. In the Premier League era, Man Utd has never been so far behind.

One statistic that shows Man Utd’s struggles in finding an attacking solution is that the club has failed to score in the first half of 26 games this season, more than any other club in the entire history of the Premier League.

Notably, for the second time this season, Man Utd lost three consecutive matches in the Premier League. Previously, in this tournament era, Sir Alex Ferguson had only suffered three consecutive losses once.

However, coach Ruben Amorim still sees positives after the defeat to Chelsea. He said: "This match helped me choose the starting lineup for the Europa League final against Tottenham. It would be a mistake to leave some players out 10 days before the final."

In addition, the Portuguese coach believes that Man Utd players need to change, not him. The 40-year-old strategist added: "It's a shame that I only won 6/25 matches in charge at Man Utd. There is something wrong with the way we play.

I think the problem is not the tactics but the attitude of the players and how we deal with pressure. We need to react more aggressively after losing a game. After what I've been through, I know what this club needs to improve, not only on the pitch but also behind the scenes. We have the conditions to play better."

Centre-back Harry Maguire expressed disappointment: "This season's Premier League has been so difficult. We can't hide the fact that the club has played so badly compared to Man Utd's level. We feel ashamed when we look back at the rankings. Playing in the Europa League has made the team unstable. The whole team should have done better. I don't remember the last time I played 90 minutes in the Premier League."

After losing to Chelsea, Man Utd will focus all their efforts on preparing for the Europa League final against Tottenham at San Mames Stadium (Bilbao) at 2am on May 22. The Europa League champion will have a ticket to participate in the Champions League next season.
