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
