Ruben Amorim believes Manchester United deserve to be higher than 16th in the Premier League table – but is reluctant to say it because people would think he is ‘crazy’.
United are already doomed to finish in their lowest position in the Premier League era, and could even end up one place above the relegation zone if they do not pick up points from Friday’s visit to Chelsea and the final game of the season against Aston Villa at Old Trafford a week on Sunday.
Amorim admitted after last weekend’s defeat to West Ham that he is ‘embarrassed’ by the situation, and also expressed concerns that his players are too ready to accept defeat.
