Sacking Erik ten Hag this season 'would cost Manchester United £10m'

Manchester United would allegedly have to pay out £10m to head coach Erik ten Hag and his backroom staff if they sack the Dutchman this season.

Manchester United would reportedly have to pay out £10m to Erik ten Hag and his backroom staff if they decide to sack the Dutchman as manager before the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

The pressure on Ten Hag increased following last week's 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace, but he will lead the team into Sunday's Premier League clash with title-challenging Arsenal.

The Red Devils will then take on Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion in their final two league games of the season, before facing Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25.

According to Football Insider, sacking Ten Hag before the end of the season would cost the 20-time English champions £10m in compensation fees to the Dutchman and his backroom staff.

The report claims that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently became a minority shareholder at Old Trafford, is still assessing the managerial situation ahead of the summer.

Ten Hag's future remains in doubt

Ten Hag has a contract at Old Trafford until June 2025, with the option of an additional year, but it remains to be seen if he remains in charge for the start of the 2024-25 season.

The Dutchman could lead the Red Devils to FA Cup glory this season, which would secure a spot in the group stage of the 2024-25 Europa League.

However, the Red Devils are currently down in eighth spot in the Premier League table, losing 13 times in England's top flight during a disappointing campaign.

Man United also struggled in this season's Champions League, finishing bottom of their section, which saw them exit Europe altogether at the end of last year.

Ten Hag unconcerned by exit reports

Ten Hag said during his press conference on Friday that he has no fears when it comes to an exit, with the 54-year-old confident that he will remain in charge of the Red Devils.

Man United have had significant injury problems this season, and Ten Hag has insisted that the owners are fully aware of the challenges that he has faced during the current campaign.

"The [owners] have common sense. You see when we have 32 different back lines, we've used 13 partnerships in centre half, when they see we don't have a left back, they know that will have a negative impact on results," he told reporters.

"It's a huge FA Cup final. We are happy to be there. It can be a highlight for this season. We know the reasons we are underperforming is because of the injuries. No team will perform when you have so many injuries in key areas."

Thomas Tuchel, who is leaving Bayern Munich this summer, remains the favourite to replace Ten Hag, should a change be made, while England head coach Gareth Southgate and ex-Chelsea manager Graham Potter are also seen as possible replacements for the current boss. body check tags ::
