‘Feels like a mess’ – Paul Scholes makes morning Ruben Amorim sack verdict | OneFootball

Manchester United icon Paul Scholes offers his take on Ruben Amorim’s current situation at the club which he describes as a mess.

The 50-year-old made an appearance on The Overlap Fan Debate hosted by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher. The fans got the opportunity to chat with the legendary midfielder, and the managerial topic inevitably popped up.

Scholes was asked if he thinks Amorim should be sacked at the end of the season if he fails to guide the club towards Europe which would cost the Reds dearly from a financial standpoint (which appears to be the most likely scenario at this stage). Nevertheless, the former England international notes that the Portuguese tactician isn’t entirely to blame since he had walked into a club that was already in utter chaos.

“Look, I’m not at the point where I’m thinking it’s the wrong decision [to appoint Amorim],” said the 1999 treble winner. “Because he’s coming into a mess and still feels like a mess.”

That being said, Scholes revealed he’s not quite impressed with the club’s current status under Amorim, especially the dire league status.

“But the rest, with the league, not so much. The league form, the way they’re playing now, even in the cup competitions.”

Paul Scholes explains why Ruben Amorim shouldn’t be sacked

United currently lie in a miserable 13th place in the Premier League table, as their results arguably regressed since Amorim took over from Erik ten Hag. Hence, the Red Devils are pretty much out of the running for European spots.

Therefore, they’ll be looking to rescue their campaign by going far in the cup competitions, especially the Europa League, since winning the tournament remains their solitary plausible track towards the Champions League next season. The Reds finished the group stage in the Top 8, thus booking a direct place in the Round of 16.
