Amorim tipped for United axe before 2026, ex-Sporting in trouble | OneFootball

Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes believe that Ruben Amorim will leave his position as Manchester United manager before 2026. The two former England internationals analyzed the situation of the Portuguese coach and were unanimous in their criticism of the current state of the "red devils".

"I don’t like to say that a coach should be sacked, it’s disrespectful and we’re talking about a man’s job, but right now I think Ruben Amorim’s position is unsustainable. It’s inevitable that this will happen before Christmas," said the former Liverpool defender.

"His time has to end as soon as possible." The only reason he’s still in the job is because the club doesn’t want to admit it has failed," he emphasized. Paul Scholes, Manchester United legend, agreed with Carragher and was equally direct in his criticism of the Portuguese coach, just as he had done recently.

"With Ruben Amorim, we’ve reached a point where we don’t want to keep talking about sacking managers. Manchester United usually gives time, but in this case I think he’s already had too much," he said. The former midfielder revealed that he began to change his mind after the 3-1 defeat to Brentford.

"That’s when I thought: ‘This is taking too long.’ It just seems like a matter of time until it’s all over. Ruben Amorim has to try to get something from Anfield. I’d be thinking about a draw and finding a way to stop them. Manchester United is in such a deep hole that it’s almost predictable they’ll go to Anfield and lose," he concluded.
