Manchester United’s dismissal of Ruben Amorim and his coaching staff could cost the club up to £16 million, contributing to a total transition expense of £37.3 million.
Manchester United faces a potential financial hit of nearly £16 million following the January sacking of manager Ruben Amorim.
A recent New York Stock Exchange filing confirmed this provision covers settlement payments for Amorim and his five departing coaches.
The club noted: “A charge of £6.3million for the write off of related intangible assets and a provision of £15.9 million… will be recognised.”
The total financial impact surrounding Amorim’s 14-month tenure, including compensation previously paid to Sporting, reaches approximately £37.3 million.
Despite a challenging campaign that saw the team finish 15th last season, United has climbed to fourth place under caretaker Michael Carrick.
Amorim’s dismissal followed a public fallout with the hierarchy, concluding a turbulent period that began with his high-profile appointment to replace Erik ten Hag.
