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.”
Turkish transfer expert Süleyman Rodop has confirmed that Galatasaray will no longer pursue Victor Osimhen following Napoli’s tough demands. Napoli reportedly asked for €40 million upfront and another €35 million by 2026, along with a sell-on clause, after Galatasaray submitted their fourth offer for the Nigerian striker.
Speaking to Turkish outlet habersarikirmizi, Rodop stated that the Turkish club won’t go beyond their final bid. He explained that although Osimhen’s current deal runs out next year, Napoli still hold the option to extend it by another season. Rodop praised Osimhen for his professionalism, saying he handled the situation admirably.
However, Galatasaray have decided to walk away, believing Napoli are dragging the deal unnecessarily. “The latest offer stands, and it won’t change,” Rodop said. “Napoli’s president is just playing games now.” Osimhen is said to be eager to return to Galatasaray permanently, after impressing on loan last season.
New Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus has made it clear that Cristiano Ronaldo played a major role in his decision to join the club. During his first remarks after taking the job, Jesus admitted that without Ronaldo, he likely wouldn’t have accepted the offer.
The Portuguese coach, who takes over from Stefano Pioli following a disappointing season, said he’s eager to help both the club and its captain win silverware. “Cristiano hasn’t won much here yet,” Jesus said. “I want to help change that. We speak the same language, so working together will be smooth.”
Napoli seem to be raising the bar as talks continue over Victor Osimhen’s potential move this summer. The Nigerian striker is eager to make a permanent switch to Galatasaray after a loan spell in Istanbul, but the Turkish club has already had multiple bids turned down.
On Monday, another offer was reportedly rejected, with Napoli now demanding €40 million upfront, another €35 million by 2026, and a sell-on clause. Galatasaray isn’t backing down just yet, but they’re holding firm on their terms, they want to complete the deal for €35 million by 2027 and are not open to including a sell-on clause.
