Manchester United Faces Significant Payout for Potential Managerial Change

Pressure Mounts on Ruben Amorim

Manchester United finds itself in a challenging predicament as it contemplates the future of manager Ruben Amorim. With a shaky start to the current season, less than a year into his appointment, Amorim’s position is increasingly scrutinized.

The board at Old Trafford is actively discussing the feasibility of Amorim retaining his role following a disappointing defeat to Manchester City over the weekend. Concerns regarding his man-management skills, strategic approach, and overall experience are being voiced by both insiders and external observers.

Financial Implications of a Managerial Shake-Up

According to reports from the Daily Mail, if Manchester United decides to part ways with Amorim, the club could incur a substantial compensation fee exceeding £12 million. For context, the club invested just over £10.5 million last season when securing Amorim’s services from Sporting CP.

Overall, since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013, Manchester United has incurred a staggering £85 million in payouts linked to dismissed managers.
