Man Utd set a series of bad records after disastrous defeat to Brighton

(Dan Tri) - The 1-3 loss to Brighton in round 22 of the Premier League caused Man Utd to set many bad records.

In round 22 of the Premier League, Man Utd caused a big disappointment when they lost 1-3 to Brighton right at home at Old Trafford. This result caused coach Ruben Amorim's team to drop to 13th place with 26 points after 22 matches.

This was a very disappointing match for Man Utd. According to statistics, they controlled the ball 51.5% of the time, and had 10 shots. However, the Red Devils only had 1 shot on target, which was a penalty kick by Bruno Fernandes.

This defeat caused Man Utd to set a series of bad records. Accordingly, for the first time in the history of the Premier League (since 1992 until now), the team lost 10 matches in 22 rounds. The last time the Red Devils were in such a bad situation was in the 1989/90 season under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Man Utd also suffered their sixth home defeat in just 12 games. The last time the Manchester team lost so many at home in their first 12 games was in the 1893/94 season. At that time, the Red Devils were called Newton Heath. Old Trafford was still under construction.

The last time Man Utd had such a low number of points (26 points) after 22 matches (calculated according to the current coefficient of 3 points/match) was in the 1986/87 season.

After the match, coach Ruben Amorim bitterly admitted that this was the worst version in Man Utd's history. He said: "In the last 10 matches in the Premier League, Man Utd only won 2 matches. Imagine what this would be like for Man Utd fans. Think about what this would be like for me. Many people think that the new Man Utd coach has lost more than his predecessor. I completely understand that.

As I said, I wouldn't change, no matter what. I know the team can be successful but we need to survive this moment. I'm not naive. I understand that Man Utd need to survive at all costs.

This is probably the worst version in Man Utd's history. I know reporters need good headlines but I have to admit that it's bad. We have to be brave to look at the truth and change."

Man Utd will host Rangers in the Europa League in midweek, before travelling to Fulham in the 23rd round of the Premier League at the weekend.
