From gun-wielding strikers to love triangles with George Best, this is his story…

Ruben Amorim: we are the worst team in Man United history
In September 2024 the world was a very different place.
Sleepy Joe was in the White House, The United Strand had a short back and sides, and Ruben Amorim was the most vaunted young coach in Europe.

From naked fans to nightmares in Grimsby, this is the story of the Worst Manchester United team in history…
