Jamie Carragher has revealed what he believes to be the biggest mistake Ruben Amorim has made since taking over at Man United. Having earned a reputation as one of Europe's most promising young managers for his various successes at Sporting Lisbon, Amorim was appointed as Erik ten Hag's successor at Old Trafford in November.

The 39-year-old signed a two-and-a-half year deal upon arrival, with the club maintaining an option to extend for an additional twelve months. Amorim was tasked with turning United's fortunes around after they slumped to their worst-ever Premier League start after winning just three of their opening nine games when Ten Hag was relieved of his duties.

The Portuguese endured a mixed start that saw a draw with Ipswich and a win over Everton followed by back-to-back league defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. United appeared destined for a third successive league loss when they were trailing 1-0 in a clash against Man City, before late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo secured a momentus win.
