Ruben Amorim said that his Manchester United team is not improving, after a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United leaves the Red Devils just seven points above the bottom three.
United continued their poor run as they suffered their fourth consecutive defeat after Monday’s game with the Magpies.
They currently occupy 14th position and will face league leaders Liverpool in their next fixture.
Speaking after the defeat to Newcastle, Amorim stated that it is a bit embarrassing to be talking about relegation.
“That is really clear [United are being dragged into a relegation battle] so we have to fight,” Amorim told Sky Sports.
“It is a really difficult moment, one of the more difficult moments in the history of Manchester United and we have to address it with honesty.
“It is also my fault,” Amorim added in his press conference.
“The team is not improving. It is a little bit lost in this moment and it is a bit embarrassing to be Manchester United coach and lose a lot of games.
“I think people are tired of excuses at this club. This club needs a shock.
“When you have these kind of moments, especially in the big clubs, it’s really hard to turn things around, especially when you don’t have a lot of time to train the basics, to cope with the difficult moments.
“So we have to acknowledge our position, the way you see the league, everybody can beat everybody.”
