Gary Lineker gives his verdict on Tottenham and Man United's problems, after Ruben Amorim admitted his team may be the “worst in the club's history”

Gary Lineker has weighed in on Man United and Tottenham's woeful campaigns this season as both teams languish in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

Spurs are in 15th place, eight points clear of the relegation zone, while United are just two places above them, having won just three of their 11 league games under Ruben Amorim.

Ange Postecoglou's side have only tasted victory once in their last 10 league games. Both teams have virtually said goodbye to any hope of competing in Europe next season thanks to domestic success.

Unless one of them can pull off a miracle and take home the Europa League trophy, their players will likely spend their weekday afternoons in 2025-26 in the comfort of their homes.

Lineker gave his verdict on which of these two struggling teams is worse off, arguing that Spurs' team is better than United's and that they are in a more promising place under Postecoglou.

“I think if everyone was fit, Tottenham would be in a better place than Manchester United,” he said. The rest is football. podcast.

Gary Lineker argued that Tottenham have a better squad than Man United if they were fully fit.

Rubén Amorim has achieved six wins, two draws and seven defeats since arriving at Man United.

Tottenham are winless in their last six league games and have only won one of their last 10.

“I think if I look at the team in general, they probably have a little bit more than United.

'United need to do more in the transfer market. Obviously they're both a bit stagnant right now.

Alan Shearer chimed in and said: “I wouldn't disagree with that.” “If they ever get their players back fit they will be slightly better than Manchester United’s first XI.”

After United's embarrassing 3-1 defeat to Brighton on Sunday, Amorim admitted his team is possibly the worst in the club's history.

On the day United paid tribute to the legendary Denis Law, the Seagulls humiliated them. Their record at home this season is the club's worst in the league in 131 years.

“We are perhaps the worst team in Manchester United's history,” Amorim admitted.

'I say this because we have to recognize it and change it. Here you go: your headlines.

“It is unacceptable to lose so many games. For any Premier League club, imagine Manchester United?

Tottenham languishes in 15th place with 24 points, just eight clear of the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, United are on course to finish with 45 points, their worst result in Premier League history.

'The rivals are better than us in many details. I am only here to help my players, but we must understand that we are breaking all the bad records.

“In 10 Premier League games we won two. I know that. Imagine what this is like for a United fan. Imagine what this is like for me. We get a new coach who is losing more than the last coach. I am fully aware of it.'

Meanwhile, matters at N17 are no better as Postecoglou admitted his side desperately need reinforcements in this month's transfer window.

Tottenham suffered their 12th defeat of the Premier League season on Sunday after a tough 3-2 loss to Everton on Sunday.

Dominic Solanke will be out for “a few weeks” according to the Spurs manager, Brennan Johnson “three or four weeks” and Radu Dragusin came off at Goodison Park with a head injury. Tottenham's absence list now stands at 11 players, a Premier League high.

“There will be urgency, but I don't need to say so,” Postecoglou said when asked about reinforcements before the end of the month.

'Everyone can see that. I have no problem with how the club is handling it, they are working hard and trying to find solutions.

“These players need help, that's for sure and hopefully in the next 10 days we will find a solution.” It's really complicated, we are not the only ones on the market. “The club is working hard.”
