Manchester United are enduring one of their worst-ever runs with their latest defeat putting then 13th in the Premier League table.

Ruben Amorim’s post-match assessment following United’s 3-1 defeat to Brighton on Sunday saw the manager claim this team were ‘the worst in the club’s history’.

The Red Devils’ torrid run, which has seen them win just one in six league games, puts them just 10 points above the relegation zone.

And while frustrations grow, including from Amorim, who damaged the United dressing room in the wake of the Brighton defeat, one United director was confronted by an angry fan inside Old Trafford.

Jason Wilcox confronted by angry Man United fan

Understandably angered by the side’s lacklustre showing against Brighton on Sunday, fans in attendance were heard booing the United first team.

According to the Daily Mail, some fans waited by the director’s entrance to see Sir Alex Ferguson but saw Jason Wilcox appear first.

The technical director was then confronted by one fan who angrily said: “They’ve [the players] all got their heads down, it’s disgusting, Jason.”

Wilcox kindly allowed the fan the chance to air their frustrations but questions will be asked over whether or not this was the right person to scrutinise.

United hierarchy under fire

Wilcox isn’t the only club director to come under fire recently.

INEOS sporting director, and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s right-hand man, Sir Dave Brailsford, has also been criticised for a lack of impact since joining the club.

ESPN pundit Craig Burley urged Ratcliffe to get rid of Brailsford because he ‘knows nothing about a football club the size of Manchester United’.

Regardless of which figure takes the blame for such abysmal performances, one thing is for sure, the side must start improving on the pitch or the whole board risks becoming known for overseeing United’s first relegation since 1974.
