Manchester United Face £12 Million Bill If They Sack Amorim
Sports Updated: 18 September 2025 15:57 EAT
Manchester United would have to pay up to £12 million in compensation if they decide to part ways with manager Ruben Amorim within the first year of his contract. The Portuguese tactician signed a two-and-a-half-year deal in November 2024, reportedly earning around £6.5 million annually.
Reports indicate the clause in Amorim’s deal means United must pay out the equivalent of two years’ salary if his tenure ends before November 2025. The figure could rise further once the cost of backroom staff severance is factored in, potentially pushing the total bill closer to £20 million.
The revelation comes at a time when United are under pressure following inconsistent performances this season. With mounting scrutiny on Amorim’s future, the financial implications of an early dismissal are likely to weigh heavily on the club’s decision-making.
Manchester United will face Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday evening in a crucial clash that could shape perceptions of Amorim’s reign. The match comes after a disappointing run in which United have managed just one win from their opening four league games, a narrow victory over Burnley.
