Jamie Carragher reveals when Ruben Amorim could get the sack at United

Jamie Carragher believes that Ruben Amorim will be sacked from Manchester United by Christmas . The former Liverpool defender does not believe that the ex- Benfica coach can revive the Red Devils, and Paul Scholes admits that the Old Trafford club will need to achieve a good result on their visit to Liverpool.

"I don't like saying that a coach should be fired, it's disrespectful and it's a man's job. But I'm at a point where I think Ruben Amorim's job is unsustainable. It's inevitable that this [sacking] will happen before Christmas. His statistics are unbelievable for a Manchester United coach. In 50 games as Manchester United's coach, he has scored only two more goals than he has conceded," he said, on The Overlap Fan Debate.

Paul Scholes, a former Red Devils player, also expressed his opinion about the ex-Benfica coach: "I feel that with Ruben Amorim , we've reached a point where we don't want to always be talking about firing coaches, and Manchester United gives coaches enough time. He will never be booed by the fans and it was only after the game against Brentford [where they lost 3-1] that I thought: 'He's having too much time.' It seems it's just a matter of time until things come to an end."

"Ruben Amorim needs to try to achieve something against Liverpool at Anfield. I would think about drawing the game and finding a way to prevent them from scoring. That's a completely different mentality from Arsenal's, who go to Liverpool with the goal of winning the championship," added the midfielder.

"Manchester United is in such a bad phase that I can't remember the last time they won an important game or one that meant a lot. This group of players is in such a complicated situation that there is no confidence that they can get out of it. It's almost predictable that they will go to Anfield and be defeated ," Scholes concluded.
