"Manchester United's Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim is used to being criticised by now. The 40-year-old has taken charge of 47 matches in the Old Trafford dugout, winning 18 and losing 20. Man United have won once in five outings this season, fell to defeat against rivals Manchester City and Arsenal as well as exiting the League Cup at the Second Round having lost on penalties to fourth tier Grimsby Town."
"Upon arriving at Old Trafford, Amorim signed a contract which runs until the summer of 2027, meaning the club would be required to pay out the remainder of his salary, should they decide to change head coach. That is likely to total close to 13 million, given Amorim is rumoured to be earning 6.5 million per year at Man United."
Ruben Amorim has managed 47 matches at Old Trafford, winning 18 and losing 20, and United have won once in five outings this season. The club suffered defeats to Manchester City and Arsenal and exited the League Cup after a penalty loss to fourth-tier Grimsby Town. Bookmakers rate Amorim as the second-most likely Premier League manager to be sacked. His contract runs until summer 2027, implying a roughly £13m payout for remaining salary and potentially closer to £20m if backroom staff compensation is included. United failed to qualify for European competition in 2025-26, missing associated broadcast, commercial and matchday revenue.
