"Listed as an "event that occurred after the reporting period", United confirmed an amortised fee of 6.3m - which related to the cost of getting Amorim to Old Trafford from Sporting in November 2024 - had been written off and a "provision of 15.9m" would be made, representing the highest amount United could be liable to pay Amorim and his coaching staff."
"It means the combined changes around Amorim could cost 37.3m. His 14-month stint in charge was the shortest reign of a permanent manager at Old Trafford since David Moyes was sacked just eight months into his tenure in 2014."
"Amorim won 25 of his 63 games in charge, finishing 15th in the Premier League, United's worst performance since they were relegated in 1973-74. They also lost the Europa League final, meaning they have no European football this season for only the second time since 1990."
Manchester United confirmed that sacking Ruben Amorim on 5 January will cost the club approximately 16 million pounds. The Portuguese manager was dismissed following his public criticism of the club's hierarchy after a 1-1 draw at Leeds. The club wrote off 6.3 million pounds in amortised fees related to Amorim's transfer from Sporting in November 2024 and established a provision of 15.9 million pounds for potential payments to Amorim and his coaching staff, likely related to future employment terms. Combined with the 11 million pounds paid to acquire Amorim and the 10.4 million pounds spent on Erik ten Hag's exit, the total managerial changes cost 37.3 million pounds. Amorim's 14-month tenure was the shortest permanent managerial reign at Old Trafford since David Moyes in 2014, with the team finishing 15th in the Premier League and losing the Europa League final.
