Gary Pallister Says Amorim Is Wrong to Call This the Worst Man U Team in History
Manchester United legend Gary Pallister has criticized manager Ruben Amorim for labeling the current squad as “the worst team” in the club’s history. Pallister, who played for United during challenging times in the early 1990s, argued that Amorim’s comments were harsh and not entirely accurate.
Amorim made the remark after Manchester United’s 3-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. While expressing frustration with the team’s struggles, the Portuguese coach admitted later that he regretted his statement, recognizing it might have been an overreaction to the disappointing result.
Reflecting on Amorim’s comments, Pallister recalled his own experience with a struggling United side in 1990. Speaking to Punters Lounge, he explained, “I’ve been part of a United team that was in a worse position than this one.
In April 1990, we went to Millwall, and if we’d lost, we’d have dropped into the bottom three. That team had talented players like Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes, Paul Ince, Brian McClair, Danny Wallace, Lee Sharpe, and myself, but we were struggling to find consistency.”
Despite the difficulties back then, that same team eventually turned things around and won the Premier League title in 1993, marking the beginning of United’s dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson.
He also suggested that Amorim’s comment was an emotional reaction to the Brighton defeat, possibly said to deflect criticism. “Ruben Amorim made that remark with a wry smile, likely anticipating the backlash after the result,” Pallister noted. “It’s now up to the coaching staff to find a system that works and get the team back on track.”
Former Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has sent his congratulations to his former club after they won the 2024/2025 La Liga title. The Inter Miami star shared a picture from Barcelona’s official Instagram celebrating the trophy and simply wrote, “Congratulations.”
Messi left Barcelona in 2021 for Paris Saint-Germain after his contract ended. This season, Barcelona secured their 28th La Liga crown with a 2-0 win over Espanyol, sealing a memorable treble.
Before this league victory, the Catalan giants had already claimed the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, finishing ahead of rivals Real Madrid. However, their Champions League journey ended earlier when Inter Milan knocked them out.
After helping Barcelona clinch the 2024/25 La Liga title with a 2-0 win over Espanyol, winger Lamine Yamal took a moment to praise one football legend. Speaking after the match, Yamal named Lionel Messi, now with Inter Miami, as the greatest player in football history.
The young Spain international was humble, saying he could never compare himself to the Argentine superstar. “I would never compare myself to Messi… Leo is the best player ever,” Yamal said.
Messi spent 21 memorable seasons at Barcelona, winning a record 34 trophies including ten La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns before moving to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021. Yamal’s respect for Messi shows the lasting impact the legend continues to have on the new generation of football stars.
Former Italy coach Fabio Capello has named Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal as the best footballer in the world right now. Capello, who once managed top clubs like Real Madrid, overlooked big names like Mohamed Salah, Ousmane Dembele, and even Raphinha to crown the 17-year-old as his top pick for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
He praised Yamal for doing things far beyond his age and compared the teenager to football icons like Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Yamal played a major role in Spain’s European Championship victory last year, even though he was just 16 at the time.
This season, he helped Barcelona reach the Champions League semifinals and led them to a La Liga title, matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s haul while scoring and assisting in a key 2-0 win over rivals Espanyol.
That victory sealed a domestic treble for Barça. Speaking to El Partidazo de COPE, Capello revealed his top three picks for the Ballon d’Or: Real Madrid stars Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe took second and third place, but Lamine Yamal topped his list.
In his words, “For the Ballon d’Or, I would vote Lamine Yamal. My votes would be: Vinicius, Mbappe, and first, Lamine Yamal.” Capello ended by praising Yamal’s brilliance and fearless playing style, likening it to that of the greatest footballers the game has ever seen.
