Jamie Carragher has made a strong statement about Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, saying he believes the manager will be sacked before Christmas if results don’t improve soon.
Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, Carragher said he doesn’t like using the word “sacked,” but he feels Amorim’s situation is “untenable” and that it’s “not good for both parties.”
He added, “I think it’s inevitable that this will happen probably before Christmas or January time.”
Carragher pointed out that Amorim has now been in charge for 50 games, and in that time, United have only scored two more goals than they’ve conceded.
He said that kind of record is “unbelievable” for a club as big as Manchester United.
Fans Still Not Convinced
Manchester United have won a few games this season, but fans remain far from convinced.
Two of their victories came against newly promoted sides, and the other was against a 10-man Chelsea, which doesn’t give much confidence that the team is improving.
Even though Amorim has tried new tactics and line-ups, the results haven’t been consistent.

United look solid in some matches and completely lost in others. That has left supporters frustrated and the pressure building each week.
Many fans are already debating who could replace Amorim if things don’t change soon.
According to reports, United bosses have a four-man shortlist ready, including Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth and Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace.
10 Games to Save His Job
If Carragher’s timeline is right, Amorim now has 10 Premier League games to turn things around.
Those matches could decide his future at Old Trafford.
The schedule won’t be easy either. United still have to play away against Liverpool, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace, which are all tough fixtures.
Out of the next 10 matches, only four will be at home.
Right now, Amorim’s win percentage is only 38%, which is very low for a Manchester United manager.
He will have to improve that record quickly if he wants to keep his job past December.
Inside the club, some people still back Amorim and believe he can fix things, but patience is running out.
The next few games could decide whether the board gives him more time or starts looking for a replacement.
Carragher’s warning feels serious and if results don’t pick up soon, the Manchester United dugout could have a new face before the Christmas lights go up.
