Man United legend reveals what was missing to sack Ruben Amorim | OneFootball

Rio Ferdinand believes that Ruben Amorim would have been fired, if Manchester United had not won against Sunderland in the last Premier League match. The former central defender commented on his podcast about the current state of the Red Devils and the position of the former Benfica player in the Premier League.

"I think there would have been a serious conversation if they hadn't defeated Sunderland. I didn't want to say this before the game", Rio Ferdinand began to reveal, the central defender who shone at Manchester United with Sir Alex Ferguson, a duo that won all the most important trophies in world football.

The former central defender continued, speaking more about Ruben Amorim's position at the Manchester club: "After the result of the previous week [defeat to Brentford], it would have been difficult for INEOS not to consider dismissing him from his duties".

"He gained another 'day of life', that's what we're talking about here. 'Can you achieve results? Can you bring consistency?'", the former English player remarked, explaining, however, that even because of the victory, Ruben Amorim does not have his job secured.

Ferdinand concluded with a wish for the near future: "In an ideal world, performances would be key, but I don't think we are in a position to worry about that. Now what we need are points, to build on this victory and climb up the standings".
