JAKARTA - Manchester United are determined to return to the pinnacle of English and European football after appointing Ruben Amorim as head coach.

The new 39-year-old coach led one game as the Red Devils drew 1-1 against Ipswich Town on November 24, 2024.

Next, Amorim will try to improve Manchester United's record in the Europa League when they host Bodo Glimt from Norway on Friday, November 29, 2024.

The problem is, when the target is high, the budget for strengthening the team shrinks. Amorim was forced to achieve this target with Erik ten Hag's legacy squad slumped in the lower half of the Premier League standings.

"The season is now going well for our men's and women's teams. We want to make sure both are as competitive as possible."

"We are very pleased to have appointed Ruben Amorim as the head coach of our men's team and remain committed to returning Manchester United to the top of domestic football and Europe," said Omar Berrada, CEO of Manchester United when releasing the results of the club's latest financial report on Tuesday, November 26, 2024.

Amoram akan bekerja dengan anggaran transfer yang dikuran untuk masa depan karena klub terus memastikan mematuhi aturan Profit dan Keberberlanjutan Liga Inggris.

ESPN sources said specifically for the winter market in January 2025 there is a high probability that Manchester United will be passive.

However, for the summer window at the end of this season, there is a transfer budget that has been adjusted according to plans for a split from the club's new minority shareholder, Sir Jim Radcliffe.

As is known, Manchester United has carried out a series of layoffs since the arrival of Sir Jim Radcliffe in February 2024 in an effort to cut expenses.

The cost of dismissing Erik ten Hag and his staff as well as recruiting Amorim is included in the calculations to be disclosed in the financial results of the next club.

"The reduction in costs and the number of our employees remains as planned. We are pleased to have seen the further commercial appeal."

"The renovation of the Carrington Training Center is going well, while the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force is continuing its work."

"After submitting the recommendation, we will take the time to digest it and evaluate all of our options in the coming year," said Berrada.

Manchester United reported a smaller adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2025, assisted by cost cuts and benefits from a lucrative exchange rate.

The adjusted net loss was 349,000 pounds for three months ending September 30, 2024, compared to a loss of 8.6 million a year earlier.

Meanwhile, revenue for three months fell 9 percent to 143.1 million pounds.
