Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has given his verdict on Ruben Amorim's future at Manchester United as further pressure on the Portuguese head coach following their loss at BrentfordFormer Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes it's going to be tough for Ruben Amorim to turn things around at Manchester United following their latest defeat in the Premier League. The result leaves United in 14th place with seven points from their opening six games amid reports that the club hierarchy has drafted up a three-man shortlist to replace Amorim.Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, Carragher said: "I think he's still in a job because I think the powers that be at Manchester United have made that many mistakes, so far in the decisions that they've made on and off the pitch that almost don't want to admit right not, that they don't want to make another."This has been a disaster for Manchester United but also for Ruben Amorim.
He looked like the next big thing as a manager, but bringing in a manager like that in, in terms of the system that he played, I don't think really suited the traditions of Manchester United."The quicker Manchester United make the decision on the manager, I think it's better for everybody because as I said, it's been a disaster for the club, but also the manager. We're only waiting for the inevitable."Unfortunately, as Duncan [Ferguson] said, you don't want to see people lose their jobs, but his has to end as quickly as possible."Fellow co-presenter Duncan Ferguson said: "You're talking Manchester United here, one of the biggest club's in the world.
Let's be fair, he's a lucky, lucky boy to still be in a job."I think he's got a bit of credit from what he did last year before coming to Man United. He's very lucky to stay in his jobs, but hopefully he gets a few more games to stay in his job as we always want a manager to be successful.
