Jamie Carragher Slams Manchester United as Crisis Deepens
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has once again provoked fury among Manchester United fans with his uncompromising take on the club’s ongoing struggles.
Speaking in the aftermath of United’s latest disappointing outing, Carragher argued that the crisis at Old Trafford goes far beyond a single player, yet he did not hesitate to single out individuals for their roles in the decline.
“This player is slowly dragging Manchester United toward the relegation zone, and I’ll keep saying it even if their supporters hate me for it,” Carragher declared bluntly.
His remarks immediately sparked debate, with many believing he was referencing Benjamin Šeško, who has endured a difficult start to life at the club following his £74 million transfer. However, Carragher was quick to clarify that the Slovenian forward should not be the sole scapegoat.
“Šeško is having problems, yes, but he’s not the only one. Several others in this team are underperforming every single week, and that is just as damaging,” he explained.
Carragher then shifted his criticism toward the dugout, insisting that manager Rúben Amorim must also take a share of the responsibility.
According to him, the issues stem from more than just poor finishing or individual mistakes. “The manager has to put this team in order immediately.
There’s no structure, no proper balance, and far too many players look completely lost during games. For a club as big as Manchester United, this kind of chaos is unacceptable.
The fans demand better, and the history of the club demands nothing less than excellence,” Carragher said.
United’s ongoing winless run has intensified the pressure, leaving supporters increasingly restless and pundits circling.
Every dropped point amplifies the scrutiny, with critics questioning both the players’ desire and Amorim’s ability to impose a system that works.
On social media, fans echoed Carragher’s concerns, with many calling for sweeping changes to the squad selection and tactical setup before the situation deteriorates any further.
The bigger question now is whether Amorim can steady the ship before the crisis spirals completely out of control.
As Carragher warned, if performances continue at their current level, the dreaded word “relegation” may stop being an exaggeration and start to feel like a genuine threat.
For Manchester United, a club of global stature, even the hint of such a scenario represents humiliation of the highest order.
The Red Devils now find themselves at a crossroads. Unless immediate changes are made, this campaign could descend into a nightmare.
Carragher’s words may sting, but they highlight a growing reality: Manchester United are teetering on the edge, and unless action is taken swiftly, the season could unravel in ways few would have thought possible.
