'Can any manager survive finishing 17th with Man Utd?'
BBC Radio Manchester's Joe McGrath says Manchester United are currently "giving with one hand and taking with the other" after fans experienced the highs of getting to the Europa League final followed by the lows of losing to West Ham in the Premier on The Devils' Advocate podcast, McGrath said: "I think Ruben Amorim has brought the players down to such a level, with his way of speaking, that when they go up against a team like West Ham they can lose."If we got knocked out of the Europa League against Athletic Club and we played how we did against West Ham, I would have sacked him," he asked whether the club should sack Amorim if they lose the Europa League final against Tottenham, McGrath said: "It depends on how we lose the final."This season has been a disgrace - six wins out of 24 and 17 defeat overall in the Premier League."But we had a decent team out against West Ham, so why were we beaten? Are we one striker away from glory? Am I being too critical?"BBC Radio Manchester's Gaz Drinkwater added: "I do think that no matter what happens, we do have to ask questions about a manager that has come in and put Manchester United potentially 17th place in the Premier League."Can any manager survive finishing 17th with Manchester United?"What worries me is that it stinks of the Erik ten Hag situation. At the start of next season, Amorim is going to be under an unbelievable amount of pressure and there is a very high possibility that he won't be Manchester United manager at Christmas."Listen to the full podcast on BBC Sounds

See pictures from Easter commemorations in New Ross
There was a large crowd in attendance for the mass in St Mary and Michael's Church, and the parade thereafter which assembled in the Irishtown, and both the mass and parade were in memory of the men and women of the old IRA, to honour their sacrifices. When the parade arrived at St Stephen's Cemetery, MC Larry Shannon introduced the event and Monsignor Joe McGrath recited a decade of the rosary, followed by a reading of the 1916 Proclamation by Pipe Major, Paschal Bolger. Former FCA Officer, Jim Sutton, performed the laying of the wreath, at which point, the FCA Pipe Band played the lament, Wrap the Green Flag Around Me, which was introduced for the centenary anniversary. A minute's silence then took place. Two members of the Confraternity band, Jane Connolly and George Delany played The Last Post and Reveille on bugles, accompanied by Derek Bolger, followed by a heart-rending performance of the national anthem by the FCA Pipe Band. On behalf of the organising committee, John Bennett said he's grateful to Derek Furness and District Manager, Alan Fitzhenry, 'they have the place immaculate.' He thanked New Ross Municipal District and politicians for attending, and Joanne Cooney for use of her PA system.
