Jamie Carragher believes that Ruben Amorim - who dismissed a former Benfica - has not yet been fired from the technical command of Manchester United due to his “good looks” and his charisma. On the ‘The Overlap Fan Debate’ podcast, the Liverpool legend also spoke about a possible return of José Mourinho to the Premier League.

Mourinho in the Premier League? Jamie Carragher: “He sells well”

"There are a lot of people asking for the return of José Mourinho to English football and the reason for this is the fact that he is someone who sells well, can bring things, but he is a winner . I always remember Brian Clough. When I was a child I was always listening to him because he was a winner”, argues Jamie Carragher.

As for Ruben Amorim, Jamie Carragher could not have been clearer: “ The problem is that he is fantastic in press conferences, but because he is not winning people are like 'shut up! Stop talking'. But if he was winning, everyone would say that he is a person with great character and a great personality”.

“If he wasn't so charismatic in press conferences, and if he didn't look so good, he probably would have lost his job before. Because if you look at the results... they're horrible", concludes Jamie Carragher, considering that Ruben Amorim has not yet been fired from Manchester United for non-sporting reasons.
