"I think he's still in a job because the powers that be at Man United have made that many mistakes on and off the pitch that they almost don't want to admit right now that they've made another. This has been a disaster for Man United and Ruben Amorim. What he did at Sporting Lisbon was fantastic and he looked like the next big thing as a manager."
"But bringing a manager with a system like his never suited the traditions of Man United and the quicker the club make a decision on the manager, I think it's better for everybody because it has been a disaster for the club but also the manager. We're only waiting for the inevitable, unfortunately, you don't want to see people lose their jobs but this has to end as quickly as possible."
Ruben Amorim has overseen 17 defeats in 33 Premier League matches since taking charge last season. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher publicly urged Amorim to consider walking away from Old Trafford, arguing the job may already be beyond repair. Carragher suggested the club hierarchy are reluctant to admit mistakes and that Amorim's system clashes with Manchester United traditions. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have offered public backing, but poor results and a subdued atmosphere have left supporters unconvinced. A loss to Brentford, where United fell behind early and failed to recover, intensified questions about possible replacements.
