Manchester United may have to pay a massive £12 million compensation fee to manager Rúben Amorim if they decide to end his tenure prematurely.
According to the Daily Mail, the Portuguese coach is under serious pressure after overseeing United’s worst start to a season in 33 years. The Red Devils have picked up just four points from their opening four Premier League fixtures, sparking growing concern among fans and pundits.
Amorim, who signed a contract in November 2024 set to run until the summer of 2027, was brought in to stabilize the club after years of inconsistency. However, just 10 months into the role, questions are being raised about whether he can turn things around.
Although the United hierarchy continues to show public support for the 40-year-old, sources suggest the club may soon be forced into a difficult decision if results do not improve. Should that happen, the financial implication would be clear: a £12m payout to settle his contract.
For now, Amorim remains in the dugout, but the coming weeks could prove decisive for both his future and Manchester United’s season.
