Hints at seeking a severance payout as Manchester United draws consecutive matches against relegation-threatened teams; Amorrin states he is the club manager, not the coach.

This Premier League match saw Manchester United draw 1-1 with Leeds United, following the previous 1-1 draw against the relegation-threatened Wolves. This means United has been forced into draws by lower-ranked teams twice in a row, losing 4 points over two games. The club hierarchy, supporters, and press are deeply dissatisfied with Amorrin, yet the novice coach in his first major league role made an unexpected comment post-match.

Amorrin said the following:I came to Manchester United as the club manager, not the team coach, and that is very clear. I understand my name is not Tuchel, Conte, or Mourinho, but I am the manager of Manchester United. This will be the case for the next 18 months unless the board decides otherwise.

Amorrin’s contract with Manchester United runs until the end of June 2027, meaning there are 18 months remaining, with an option to extend for an additional year. After his surprising remarks, media and fans speculate that this reflects Amorrin’s worsening situation at the club. This suggests he is unlikely to renew or extend his contract, and will leave after this season and next. His relationship with the club’s upper management has broken down and may be beyond repair. Some fans even believe Amorrin is demanding a severance payout, waiting for Manchester United to compensate him for contract termination.

Following Chelsea’s coach Maresca, another Premier League Big 6 manager has “self-disclosed” issues. It can be said that Amorrin has already thrown in the towel, and it is highly likely that Amorrin and Manchester United will part ways, signaling the start of a new rebuilding phase for the club.

In summary, being a head coach at a Premier League Big 6 club is truly a tough job!
