Amorim remains in charge at Manchester United due to his looks: Carragher's version.

Ruben Amorim's future in question

According to The Sun: James Carragher believes that Ruben Amorim's looks have been one of the factors that helped him remain in charge at Manchester United, despite difficult times for the team.

Amorim took over the team last November, but United finished the season in 15th place — their worst result in Premier League history.

Currently, the team sits in ninth place in the table, having only secured one win, which was achieved through a last-minute penalty against Burnley (3:2).

After League 2 team Grimsby knocked United out of the Carabao Cup, Amorim's future has once again come into question. Many experts note that the 40-year-old coach continues to maintain a confident demeanor.

Looks and performance

He also emphasized that Amorim has a good reputation at press conferences, but if the team's results were better, he would be perceived quite differently.

Carragher added:

“If he didn't have such charisma at press conferences and didn't possess attractive looks, he might have lost his job earlier.”

Amorim openly expressed his opinions about his team, stating that they are “possibly the worst in Manchester United's history” as early as January.

Amorim's honesty

After the humiliating defeat to Grimsby, he expressed:

“Sometimes I hate my players, and sometimes I love them.”

Former United player Paul Scholes added:

“I like Ruben Amorim. He is very honest, perhaps even too honest.”

Carragher emphasized that Amorim's comments after the game against Grimsby, when he stated that “players were vocal,” could be perceived negatively.

Experts believe that such frankness could be fatal for his career at the club if results do not improve.

The situation with Ruben Amorim raises concerns among both fans and the media. The lack of stable results and defeats in crucial matches puts his smooth career trajectory at Manchester United at risk. The struggle to regain fans' trust and develop the team will continue, and in upcoming matches, it will be critically important to show progress in order to remain in charge.
