Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has predicted that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim could be sacked before Christmas amid the club’s poor run of form.
Amorim is under mounting pressure after a disappointing start to the season, with the Red Devils sitting 10th on the Premier League table after seven games.
Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, Carragher said he believes Amorim’s position at Old Trafford has become “untenable.”
“I don’t like saying a manager should be sacked – it’s disrespectful and it’s a man’s job – but I am at that point where I do think Ruben Amorim’s job is untenable,” Carragher said.
“It is inevitable that this [Amorim’s sacking] is going to happen before Christmas. His stats are unbelievable for a Manchester United manager – 50 games as Manchester United manager, and he has only scored two more goals than he has conceded.”
Amorim, who joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon earlier this year, has faced criticism over the team’s inconsistency and lack of attacking spark despite heavy investment in the summer transfer window.
