He might get sacked after that game — Alan Shearer makes grim prediction for Amorim

Alan Shearer has claimed that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim could lose his job following the club’s Premier League game against Chelsea on Saturday.

United, who have picked up just four points from their opening four games, are in 14th place and will be looking for only their second win of the season at Old Trafford.

A poor result against the Blues could see Amorim’s men drop into the relegation zone. Despite the pressure, the Portuguese manager has insisted he will stick to his 3-4-3 philosophy.

Speaking to Betfair, Shearer stated that Amorim cannot afford another heavy defeat after the team's recent thrashing at the hands of Manchester City.

"I don’t think they can afford to be beaten like that again this weekend," he said.

"If they were then you’d have to fear for what’s going to happen going forward for the manager."

Shearer believes the match is a crucial test of Amorim’s resolve and his methods.

"Amorim knows, he believes, and he will either keep or lose his job. It’s a really interesting weekend and one where he can’t take another beating like they did last weekend."
