The 40-year-old condemned club officials in a public statement, leaving his Cheshire home with his wife Maria shortly after his termination.
Now, Carlos Fernandes, who recently stepped down as United’s assistant manager, has been photographed leaving a coffee shop with the club’s captain, Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese pair were seen exiting a café in Cheshire late on Tuesday, with Bruno dressed in a grey Nike tracksuit and his hoodie pulled up over his head.
Carlos, who also managed United’s set-pieces, was the first in Amorim’s camp to respond to the sacking with an emotional Instagram post.
He shared a photo of the two with the caption: “Thank you, Manchester United.
“I am grateful to the world-class players I had the honor to coach and learn from.
“Thank you to the staff members who provided genuine support. Thank you to the fans who stood by us.
“Ultimately, working at a football club of this stature not only tests your knowledge but also reveals your character. A unique chapter in my life. Proud to have served as Assistant Manager of Manchester United.”
Insiders had already informed SunSport that they believed Amorim’s decision to leave was influenced by the circumstances surrounding his departure.
Amorim had to part ways with Bruno, who was his primary point of contact among the players, during the final weeks of his tenure at United.
The 31-year-old sustained a hamstring injury at Aston Villa before Christmas, which was a significant setback for Amorim, as the Portuguese midfielder served as a crucial link between the players and the former manager.
