Records say that United under Ruben Amorim has only won 19 of their last 50 games, which is a 38 percent victory rate. That's not good enough for a club like Old Trafford. Fans and analysts are getting impatient with United because their expectations are so high. Besides, under Amorim Man Utd ended up finishing in 15th point in the Premier League, and also missed out on European qualification when they lost the Europa League final against Tottenham.
In the recent episode of The Overlap Fan Debate, by Sky Bet, Scholes gave a scathing review of Amorim's troubled reign, saying that the Portuguese manager has been given too much freedom even if he hasn't been able to get regular results. "I feel like with Ruben Amorim it’s got to the point where
we don’t want to talk about sacking managers all the time and Manchester United do give managers enough time," he said. "He’ll never get booed by the fans, and it wasn’t until that Brentford game [where they lost 3-1] where I thought, ‘He’s getting a little bit too much time’ and it feels like it’s only a matter of time before things come to an end."
Red Devils are waiting for a complex game at Anfield against Liverpool
After the international break, Man Utd will have the next big game against Liverpool at Anfield on October 19. Scholes thinks that Liverpool will "beat" Man Utd, but he says they need to try to get something out of the game to build on their win over Sunderland. Continuing his talk, Scholes said, "Ruben Amorim needs to try and get something from Liverpool at Anfield. I’d be thinking about drawing the game and finding a way somehow to stop them from scoring," he said.
If rumours are to be believed, Amorim could have been fired over the international break if his team had lost against Sunderland. Scholes thinks it might just be a matter of time until the Man Utd manager loses his job. A win could give his failing term new life, but another loss would make calls for change even stronger.
