Sacking manager Amorim could add to Manchester United's financial burden. |
Sacking manager Amorim at this time is an extremely difficult decision for Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as the Manchester club has spent heavily on new signings and has had to cut staff in recent months.
The Guardian reports that simply replacing Erik ten Hag with Amorim in October 2024 will cost Manchester United £21.4 million. The Portuguese manager's contract with MU runs until 2027, so sacking him would result in a significant financial loss.
According to calculations, Amorim earns £6 million per year, meaning terminating the 40-year-old coach's contract would cost an additional £12 million. However, this figure does not include any fees that would need to be paid for a replacement, thus adding to the financial burden for MU.
Clearly, the situation on the pitch for MU is not very promising, but with the enormous costs associated with sacking Amorim, the Old Trafford club will certainly have to consider carefully before making a decision.
Amorim managed Manchester United for 44 matches, losing 18 of them. In the final minutes of the Carabao Cup second-round defeat against lower-league side Grimsby Town, he appeared tired and disoriented as he tried to adjust his tactics.
Manchester United have had a terrible start to the 2025/26 season, losing two of their three matches and failing to secure a single victory.
