Manchester United's finances have been given a boost after Ruben Amorim agreed to become Milan's head coach. The move ends the club's liability to pay Amorim's £16.7m compensation package.

What happened?

Ruben Amorim has agreed a two-year contract with Milan, with the option of a third year. He will replace Massimiliano Allegri at the Italian club.

Why it matters for Manchester United

The move will save Manchester United a significant amount of money, as they will no longer be liable to pay Amorim's compensation package. This comes as a welcome boost to the club's finances, especially after their recent performances on the pitch. As of 29 Jun 2026, Manchester United are 3rd in the Premier League, with 71 points from 38 games, and a recent form of WWDWW.

What comes next?

Manchester United will also be the subject of an Amazon All or Nothing documentary series next season, which will provide a further boost to the club's finances. The series will follow the men's team under Michael Carrick, as well as the women's and academy setups.
