The Portuguese's short spell at Old Trafford was one of the club's biggest blessings.

Official financial reports of Manchester United, filed on the New York Stock Exchange, revealed the fair price of Ruben Amorim. The renewal of the contract with the Portuguese Frenchman for 5 days can cost the Devils of Hearts up to 16 million pounds sterling.

According to the published documents, the club will pay an amount of 15.9 million pounds sterling - this is the maximum amount United could potentially pay Amorim and his coaching staff.

Jerela confirms that the exact amount of compensation is due as the Swedish Portuguese finds a new place of work. The club also wrote off ?6.3 million of depreciation and amortization costs associated with its initial transfer.

The total cost to the club for this coaching rotation amounts to an astronomical 37.3 million pounds sterling: 10.4 million pounds - compensation for the release of the leader, Erika ten Gaga. 11 million pounds - payment to Lisbon Sporting for the transfer of Amorim in November 2024. 15.9 million pounds - the maximum reserve for payments to Amorim's military headquarters.

Amorim's tenure at the bench lasted for just 14 months - which is the shortest term for Manchester United's permanent coach since David Moes in 2014. The 41-year-old Portuguese was released after the 1:1 draw with Leeds and his public criticism of the manager (on camera, after a serious argument with football director Jason Wilcox).

The team's sporting results under his leadership were extremely weak (25 wins in 63 matches): 15th place in the Premier League last season (the club's highest result since winning the season. Defeat at the European League final, as the club lost without European Cups since 1990. Sensational and sad flight from the Carabao Cup against the team of the Other League Grimsby.

The decision to make food has already yielded sporting results. After two matches under Darren Fletcher's temporary leadership, Michael Carrick took care of the team until the end of the season. Under his leadership, United won five of six matches, beating Everton on Monday.

The team has rapidly climbed to the fourth place in the Premier League, with a miraculous chance of qualifying for the Champions League. At the same time, the club reported positive financial disruption: a profit of 32.6 million pounds sterling for the other quarter (which ended on 31 April 2025).

Manchester United also increased its credit line by 50 million pounds (up to 400 million) and immediately repaid 75 million pounds, eliminating the current debt on it at the level of 215 million pounds. An additional ?600,000 was awarded for sponsorships from Ineos Automotive Ltd, a minority shareholder company owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe..
