Carragher Questions Amorim’s Stay as International-Break Decision Looms

Pundits frame the Manchester derby and a Chelsea test as likely markers for his future.

Overview

  • Jamie Carragher argued United have stuck by Ruben Amorim partly because of his charisma and presentation, saying the results are "horrendous."
  • World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit said he does not expect Amorim to remain and predicted a decision on his future during the international break.
  • Former United chief scout Mick Brown criticised the manager’s touchline demeanour during the Grimsby and Burnley games, calling it an "absolute disgrace" and accusing him of "hiding."
  • United’s stuttering start includes failing to beat Arsenal or Fulham, a Carabao Cup exit on penalties to League Two Grimsby, and a stoppage-time 3-2 win over Burnley, with Amorim saying, "Sometimes I want to quit."
  • INEOS are reported to be backing the coach for now, with a trip to Manchester City on September 14 and a home match against Chelsea the following week widely viewed as pivotal tests.
