Manchester United have confirmed that sacking Ruben Amorim could cost the club almost £16m, pushing the total cost of his brief tenure and the subsequent managerial change to £37.3m. The Portuguese was dismissed on 5 January following his public attack on the club's hierarchy after a 1-1 draw at Leeds the previous day. The £16m figure, revealed in a New York Stock Exchange filing, represents a provision for future payments to Amorim and his coaching staff, alongside an already written-off £6.3m fee paid to Sporting Lisbon for his transfer in November 2024. This financial burden underscores the expensive nature of United's managerial instability during this period.
