Ruben Amorim has won eight of 30 Premier League matches since replacing Erik ten Hag. Manchester United exited the EFL Cup after losing on penalties to League Two side Grimsby Town. Jamie Carragher linked Amorim's continued employment to his press-conference charisma, bluntness and physical appearance despite poor results. Carragher argued that if Amorim lacked charisma and good looks he might have been sacked earlier, and he described the United results as horrendous. Carragher named Unai Emery and Eddie Howe as managers better equipped to manage Manchester United. Results will ultimately determine Amorim's fate.
He's great in the press conferences but because he's not winning it's like 'shut up'. Stop speaking, keep your mouth shut. If he was winning we'd all be saying, 'what a character'. There is now a big clamour to get Jose Mourinho back in English football and the reason is because he's box office, he comes out with stuff, but he was a winner.
We always remember Brian Clough - when I was a kid and he was speaking you'd listen because he was a winner. I actually look at it and think if Amorim wasn't so charismatic in the press conference, if he wasn't such a good-looking man, he might have actually lost his job a lot earlier. When you look at the results they are horrendous.
