[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, if Manchester United fires Ruben Amorim and his coaching team this summer, they will need to pay £20 million. Since taking over from Erik ten Hag, Amorim has led Manchester United to a poor record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses in 15 Premier League matches. There are currently no signs that James Ratcliffe is going to fire Amorim. However, if Manchester United’s performance continues to decline, Amorim might leave with the remainder of his £6 million annual salary. Reports suggest that according to the terms of his contract, if Manchester United fires Amorim, they must pay him the remaining salary, which would amount to £12 million if done this summer. This clause also applies to Amorim’s coaching team, so if Manchester United fires Amorim and his coaching staff this summer, the cost would reach £20 million. Firing someone is a double-edged sword; while it can bring new ideas and tactical directions to the club, it also means significant compensation. In such an economic context, the importance of the club’s expenditures becomes particularly evident. A £20 million payout is undoubtedly a considerable burden for a rebuilding Manchester United.
