Liverpool legend, says that Sesko is not the only poor player on the Manchester United team right now
Jamie Carragher has once again managed to stir up fury among Manchester United fans with his scathing remarks about the team’s alarming struggles. After yet another underwhelming outing, the Liverpool legend claimed that the issues at Old Trafford are far greater than one player’s poor form, though he didn’t shy away from pointing fingers.
According to Carragher, there is a player whose performances are “slowly dragging Manchester United towards the relegation zone,” a statement that immediately provoked outrage. While Benjamin Šeško, who cost United £74 million, has been singled out frequently for criticism, Carragher argued that the Slovenian striker is far from the only weak link. “Šeško isn’t playing well, that much is clear, but the problem is bigger. There are other players in this squad who keep letting the team down, and it’s happening every single week,” he said.
Carragher also shifted part of the responsibility onto manager Rúben Amorim, insisting that the Portuguese coach has failed to impose order or balance on the side. “Amorim has to step up. Right now the team looks lost—there’s no structure, no identity, and no cohesion. Manchester United are too big a club to be drifting like this. The badge demands excellence, and the fans won’t tolerate this kind of mediocrity for long,” he warned.
The situation has left United fans restless and pundits circling with criticism after each dropped point. Social media was ablaze following Carragher’s comments, with many supporters admitting he had a point. A growing section of the fanbase is now demanding sweeping changes to both the team’s setup and the players involved before the season slips beyond repair.
For Amorim, the pressure is reaching a boiling point. United’s winless streak has them sliding dangerously close to the lower half of the table, and whispers of relegation—once unthinkable—are now being thrown around with increasing seriousness. Carragher’s suggestion that relegation talk might not be far-fetched was a brutal blow, but it reflected the grim reality of United’s current form.
Whether Amorim can steady the ship remains the big question. But if things continue as they are, the nightmare scenario Carragher hinted at could soon feel a lot less like exaggeration.
