United's new Portuguese tactician caused a lot of controversy following his side's recent 3-1 loss to Brighton Hove Albion in the Premier League, when he stated that this is the worst Red Devils side in history.
The loss to the Seagulls was the seventh defeat the Lisboa native has suffered in the 15 matches he has taken charge of the Mancunians. Ahead of his side's UEFA Europa League clash against Rangers, Amorim explained that his statement was in reference to himself rather than his players.
"First of all, I want to talk about that," Amorim said when asked about his insinuation that this is the worst United team in history, as per ESPN.
"I was talking more about myself than the players. I also said in the same response that I was not helping my players. If you look around every time I speak and every time you push about the players are not good enough, I never put the spot on my players.
"So I understand I give you that headline and I am frustrated sometimes. Sometimes I should not say it in those terms, but it is what it is and that's it.
"Sometimes it's really hard to hide the frustration in the moment. But the good thing is I said the same things in a different way in the dressing room five minutes before. The response was quite normal because I'm really blunt with my players."
