Manchester United will reportedly have to pay out the salary Ruben Amorim is owed across the remaining 18 months of his contract after parting ways with the Portuguese tactician.
United’s brief statement confirming Amorim’s exit described the club as “reluctant” to make the decision. Given the dire nature of the results throughout the 40-year-old’s 14 months at the helm, this reticence may have been more relevant to the financial cost of such a decision.
