Ruben Amorim could spell big trouble for Manchester United | OneFootball

The contract termination process of Ruben Amorim could end up being even more costly for Manchester United than initially thought. In a report sent to the New York Stock Exchange, the English club revealed it has set aside 15.9 million pounds (about 18.17 million euros) as the maximum potential amount to be paid to the coach and his technical team.

The amount now listed is higher than the approximately 11 million euros that had been initially reported at the time of the termination. A provision, it should be noted, is a financial reserve created to cover future expenses that may arise, indicating that the financial impact could be significant.

In the same document, related to the second quarter results of the 2025-2026 season, Manchester United further details a “post-reporting date event,” which includes 7.2 million euros in amortizations associated with the hiring of the coach from Sporting, an amount now recognized as a loss.

Although the report does not explain in detail the reason that could lead to the payment of the maximum provisioned amount, the English press points to the fact that the former Benfica player remains without a club, thus staying on the payroll of the Old Trafford club.
