Carragher Claims Amorim Avoids Man Utd Sack Due to Looks Amid Poor Results

Jamie Carragher has suggested that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim's charisma, good looks, and confident media presence have helped him retain his position despite poor results, including just eight wins in 30 Premier League matches and an embarrassing EFL Cup exit to League Two side Grimsby Town. Carragher contrasted Amorim with successful managers like Jose Mourinho and Brian Clough, noting that winning often legitimizes outspoken behavior, whereas Amorim's lack of victories diminishes the impact of his personality. United finished 15th last season, their worst Premier League position, and currently sit ninth, struggling to compete without European football this term. Amorim has publicly expressed frustration with his squad, at times harshly criticizing his players, yet the club's owners have not yet moved to replace him. Carragher also remarked that managers like Unai Emery and Eddie Howe could potentially do a better job at Old Trafford, even though they are not viewed as title contenders. Ultimately, while Amorim’s media skills have bought him time, the club’s poor form puts his future under increasing scrutiny.
