Overview
- A New York Stock Exchange filing records a £6.3m write-off tied to recruiting Ruben Amorim and a £15.9m provision as the maximum potential settlement to him and his staff.
- The £15.9m sum is described as the maximum exposure and could be reduced under contract conditions, including Amorim securing new employment.
- United previously disclosed payments of about £11m to Sporting CP to hire Amorim and £10.4m to part with Erik ten Hag, taking the Amorim hire-and-fire cycle toward a reported £37.3m.
- Amorim’s 14-month tenure ended on 5 January after public criticism of club leadership, following a 15th-place league finish and a Europa League final defeat.
- Interim head coach Michael Carrick has overseen five wins and a draw in six league games, lifting United to fourth and reviving Champions League qualification hopes.
