Rio Ferdinand expressed concern about Manchester United and revealed that Ruben Amorim would have been fired if he hadn’t beaten Sunderland.

Rio Ferdinand once again commented on Ruben Amorim’s situation at Manchester United, making it clear that he does not believe the former Sporting coach would have kept his job at Old Trafford if he hadn’t beaten Sunderland (2-0) last Saturday.

“I think there would have been some very serious conversations if they hadn’t beaten Sunderland. I didn’t want to say this before the match,” he began on his podcast, as quoted by Manchester Evening News, also expressing concern about the current state of the Premier League club.

“With the result from the previous week, if they had lost to Sunderland, there would have been a difficult conversation about whether to end his [Ruben Amorim’s] tenure. Now he gets to live another day and we have what we’ve been talking about: ‘Can he get results? Can he find consistency?’ In an ideal world, performances would be the key, but I don’t think we’re in a position to worry about performances. You need to get points on the board, get the team into rhythm, and climb up the league,” said Ferdinand.

The Old Trafford team is in tenth place in the Premier League, with 10 points from seven matches, having recorded three wins, one draw, and three losses. Meanwhile, Amorim continues to face criticism.

The next match for Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United will be against Liverpool. The English football classic is scheduled for next Sunday, October 19th, at 4:30 pm. The match will be played at Old Trafford and will count for the eighth round of the Premier League.
