Cost of Ten Hag exit then having Amorim may hit £36.3m

Settlement for Amorim and his staff revealed in filing

Manchester United sacking Ruben Amorim could end up costing the club almost £16m. Amorim’s 14-month reign ended on 5 January after his public attack on United’s hierarchy, with his five coaches also leaving Old Trafford.

A filing to the New York Stock Exchange revealed the potential payments to Amorim and his staff, a day after the club confirmed they had made a £32.6m profit in their second-quarter results to 31 December 2025.

United listed it as an “event that occurred after the reporting period”, and said: “A charge of £6.3m for the write off of related intangible assets and a provision of £15.9m, representing the maximum potential amount of future settlement payments, will be recognised in the statement of profit or (loss) during the second half of the year ending 30 June 2026.”
