We asked for your views on Ruben Amorim's comments that his side "may be the worst" Manchester United side ever.

Here are some of your comments:

Sven: A really difficult situation. Amorim seems to have identified that the main problem is not an an ability to understand tactics or technical skills but rather a psychological problem. If this is the case and against a wave of contrary opinion, would Gareth Southgate have been the better choice in the short term before going for a master tactician?

Nelson: The players are bad, but Amorim is worse. How can a manager only have one way of doing things and not be willing to adapt regardless of the outcome. You desperately need goals, yet you freeze out Rashford completely.

Eamonn: I agree with Amorim - his method is the type of system United should be playing - attacking, positive football with energy and commitment. Unfortunately, he has had to come in mid-season and work with a very poor and overpaid squad, which is not his fault. Big clearout needed and then a rebuild started for next season.

Jason: Amorim isn't far wrong with his statement when you factor in the ability and effort of the current players compared with the teams in the past. I don't think it would particularly be a big loss if any of them were sold and replaced. I watched both games against Southampton and Brighton and would have happily swapped players from both of those sides to improve us!

John: Is it a case of a bad workman always blames his tools. Job is too big for this guy, bring back Ruud!
