Amorim Pushes for Wage Cuts at Manchester United Amid Poor Performances
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly urged the club’s owners, INEOS, to consider reducing wages for underperforming players following another disappointing result.
Amorim, frustrated with the squad’s lackluster performances, openly questioned the justification behind high salaries for players failing to meet expectations. “I see no reason why you receive such wages and can’t perform to expectations for the team, the club, and the fans,” he stated, igniting a debate among supporters and analysts.
A Bold Move Toward Accountability
Under INEOS’ leadership, United is undergoing structural changes, and Amorim’s proposal is seen as an effort to instill greater responsibility within the squad. The club has long been criticized for its inflated wage bill, with some players earning massive salaries despite contributing little to the team’s success.
While some fans support the initiative, believing it could motivate players to perform, others worry it might create unrest in the dressing room. Some players could even consider leaving if their earnings are impacted.
INEOS Considering a Performance-Based Wage Structure?
Reports suggest INEOS is seriously evaluating the possibility of implementing a performance-based wage system, a move that could redefine player contracts at Old Trafford. If executed, it would mark a significant shift in how United handles player wages and accountability.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on United’s management to see if they act on Amorim’s concerns. Whether this leads to improved performances or dressing room tensions remains to be seen.
