Amorim is yet to speak publicly about his time at United and sources close to the 41-year-old have said there is no immediate likelihood of that changing.<\/p>\n
The payment completes an expensive managerial experiment that ultimately ended badly.<\/p>\n
United confirmed in a similar filing on 27 November 2024 they were paying Sporting \u00a311m to hire Amorim to replace Erik ten Hag, whose exit was costing \u00a310.4m.<\/p>\n
It means the combined changes around Amorim could cost \u00a337.3m.<\/p>\n
His 14-month stint in charge was the shortest reign of a permanent manager at Old Trafford since David Moyes was sacked just eight months into his tenure in 2014.<\/p>\n
Amorim won 25 of his 63 games in charge, finishing 15th in the Premier League, United’s worst performance since they were relegated in 1973-74.<\/p>\n
They also lost the Europa League final, meaning they have no European football this season for only the second time since 1990.<\/p>\n
This term, Amorim’s team were embarrassed by League Two Grimsby, who beat them on penalties in the Carabao Cup second round.<\/p>\n
United were sixth in the Premier League when he was dismissed, having had a major fallout with director of football Jason Wilcox days before the Leeds game.<\/p>\n
Although under-18s coach and former United midfielder Darren Fletcher was named as interim boss for two games, Michael Carrick has been given the job until the end of the season<\/a> and won his fifth game out of six when his team beat Everton on Monday.<\/p>\n They are now fourth, and well placed to qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, United have also confirmed they have increased the available credit from their drawdown facility by \u00a350m to \u00a3400m, while also paying off \u00a375m, meaning they currently owe \u00a3215m on it.<\/p>\n In addition, the filing also stated \u00a3600,000-worth of “sponsorship services” had been provided to Ineos Automotive Ltd, an offshoot of the Ineos group owned by United’s minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
