Overview
- Manchester United’s filing states a £6.3m charge for writing off related intangible assets and a £15.9m provision representing the maximum potential settlement.
- The £15.9m figure covers Ruben Amorim and the five backroom staff who departed with him and is subject to reduction based on contractual conditions such as future employment.
- The write-off relates to the remaining amortised cost from the compensation paid to Sporting CP to hire Amorim in November 2024.
- When combined with prior costs, including compensation to Sporting and Erik ten Hag’s exit, media calculations indicate the total outlay tied to the Amorim episode could reach about £37.3m.
- Since Amorim’s 5 January dismissal, interim head coach Michael Carrick has won five of six matches to lift United to fourth, strengthening their push for a Champions League place.
