Man Utd could save millions if Ruben Amorim joins AC Milan after his £15.9m compensation payout following his Old Trafford exit

Manchester United could recover a significant portion of the compensation paid to former manager Ruben Amorim if he becomes the next head coach of AC Milan, according to reports.

The potential move could reduce United’s financial burden after the club paid Amorim £15.9 million following his dismissal several months ago.

Amorim, who previously managed Sporting CP before moving to England, is reportedly in advanced talks with AC Milan as the Italian club considers him for their vacant managerial position.

If the Portuguese coach completes a move to the Serie A side, Manchester United could benefit financially depending on the terms of his exit agreement and future employment arrangements.

The development comes as United continue preparations for the new season following a difficult period that saw Amorim leave the club earlier than expected.

A possible reunion could come quickly, with Manchester United and AC Milan scheduled to meet in a pre-season fixture, potentially putting Amorim against his former employers.

The reported move would represent a fresh chapter for the coach, while also easing some of the financial impact of United’s decision to part ways with him.
