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 footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
