‘I’ll do it for free’ – Neil Warnock offers to save Man United in ruthless Ruben Amorim verdict

Among Ruben Amorim’s many lows at Manchester United, one moment left Neil Warnock in stitches.

The Portuguese manager is statistically the worst in the great club’s history, and with just nine Premier League wins in 33 games, United are looking at alternatives, including Gareth Southgate.

Yet it wasn’t a disastrous league performance that left the experienced Warnock stunned, instead a moment in the cup.

United were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the second round at the end of August by League Two Grimsby Town for one of the most humiliating results in club history.

Grimsby had to do the job on penalties after giving up a 2-0 lead, but while down and in big trouble, Amorim whipped out a tactics board on the United bench and started moving magnets around the page.

Recalling the moment, Warnock said to talkSPORT: “Have you ever laughed as much in your life when he had the Subbuteo table on his lap.

“I’m looking at that and thinking ‘I cannot believe what he’s just done in front of the cameras’ I’ve seen it all’.”

The 76-year-old then offered a solution to the club’s unending post-Alex Ferguson malaise.

“I’m available if they’re struggling,” he joked. “I won’t charge you, I’ll do it for nothing. Put my name in the hat.”

Warnock was both a survival and promotion expert during his storied career, and United may well end up needing someone for the first of those specialities.

But it’s the Championship that the veteran knows better than anyone else, and he thinks this year’s vintage is harder to call than any other.

“It’s the most open Championship I’ve seen,” he said. “You’ve got Middlesbrough and Coventry then it’s anybody. You can’t say Ipswich are favourites now.”

Adding more on Coventry, he praised manager Frank Lampard.

“He’s got a lovely way about him Frank, I’m pleased for him,” Warnock continued.

“He looks so relaxed now, he doesn’t look like in previous years where it looked so stressful.

“He’s enjoying it and I think when you’re like that as a manager it brings the best out of your players and they play with freedom.”

Warnock’s take on Sheffield Wednesday’s crisis

However, it’s not all good vibes in the second tier, with one of Warnock’s local sides, Sheffield Wednesday under multiple embargoes as Dejphon Chansiri has failed to pay his players and staff on numerous occasions.

Warnock has put the blame on the league, as he thinks it’s not fair that a club and their fans are punished with points penalties and embargoes for an owner’s mismanagement.

“Sheffield Wednesday’s owners don’t know what the hell they’re doing, it’s a bit of a gloomy place at the moment football wise,” he said.

“The league should’ve changed all of this by now, they’ve had long enough to look at owners like that they should just go in and make a decision.

“It’s been happening for a couple of years now, he doesn’t care about the club now so he’s not going to go forward so the only intervention should be through the EFL.

“It’s a depressing place at the minute football wise but everybody has times like that, they have to come back.”
