Jamie Carragher criticizes Rúben Amorim as not good enough to manage a Premier League team.
On 5 January 2026, after Manchester United managed only a 1-1 draw with Leeds United in the 20th match of the 2025/26 Premier League season, they have 31 points and sit 6th in the standings.
The recent form of Rúben Amorim's team has been poor, with only one win in the last five games, trailing league leaders Arsenal by 17 points.
Recently, Jamie Carragher, former Liverpool defender, said Rúben Amorim is not good enough to manage a team in England's top league and was fortunate to have been given the job.
“He has no right to question those who appointed him. Honestly, he is not good enough or skilled enough to be Manchester United’s manager, and barely competent enough to manage in the Premier League at all.”
“The senior executives are questioning the constant changes in the playing system.”
Next, Manchester United will visit Burnley on the night of 7 January at 03:15 (early morning 8 January).
