Manchester, UK – Former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher has thrown his support behind new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim’s handling of a key player, calling it an “easy win” for the Portuguese tactician.
Amorim, who arrived at Old Trafford in November after a £9.25 million release clause was triggered, replaced Erik ten Hag following a disappointing start to the 2024-25 Premier league season.
While details remain scarce, Carragher believes Amorim’s message to an unnamed United player sends a strong signal about his leadership style.
“I think it’s a smart move by Amorim,” Carragher stated. “It shows he’s not afraid to make tough decisions and that he’s got the players’ respect. It’s an easy win for him in terms of establishing his authority.”
Carragher’s comments come as Amorim looks to rebuild Manchester United after a turbulent period. The club parted ways with Ten hag in late October, with Ruud van Nistelrooy taking over as interim manager before Amorim’s arrival.
Van Nistelrooy, a United legend, guided the team to three wins and a draw in his four-match stint.
Amorim, known for his attacking style of play, faces a challenging task in reviving United’s fortunes.Though, Carragher’s endorsement suggests the Portuguese manager is already making a positive impact.
The former Liverpool defender’s analysis adds fuel to the growing anticipation surrounding Amorim’s tenure at Old Trafford. Fans will be eager to see how his leadership and tactical approach translate onto the pitch as Manchester United aim to climb the Premier League table.
Carragher Backs Amorim’s ‘Powerful’ Rashford Omission

Speaking on The Overlap US’ ‘It’s Called Soccer,’ Carragher praised Amorim’s bold move, stating, ”I think the decision for Amorim was actually very easy and I think it’s one of them where it makes him look realy powerful and really strong.”
Amorim, who insisted the omission was not due to disciplinary issues, hinted that the duo’s performance in training had fallen short of expectations.Carragher believes the manager’s decision was a “win-win” situation. “He sends a message but he’s not actually losing anything in the team. I’m not sure Rashford improves the team certainly in the current setup […] so I think in some ways it was almost like an open goal or an easy win for the manager,” he explained.The pundit went further, suggesting that Rashford’s current form doesn’t warrant a starting spot.”Sometimes when we see players or managers make this decision, and they’ll take a big-name player out – it sends a message, and they think, ‘You know what, I’m going to take the risk […].’
“‘I’m going to this is for the greater good, I’m sending a message to the squad, I might lose something in this game today but I’m prepared to put up with that and accept it.’
“I don’t think you’re losing anything if Rashford’s not playing – he’s not that good.”
