Following this Saturday’s FA Cup final, Manchester United are reportedly set to sack manager Erik ten Hag, according to a news source in the UK. Despite the outcome of the match against city rivals Manchester City, the Dutchman is expected to be dismissed as part of the changes spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The news source indicates that Manchester United will need to pay up to £9 million in compensation to terminate ten Hag’s contract, which runs until 2025. Speculation has been rife that ten Hag will be axed regardless of the match result, making the decision an expensive one for the club.
Ten Hag’s impending departure comes as Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues to implement significant changes within the club’s structure. The hefty compensation reflects the remaining duration of ten Hag’s contract, highlighting the financial implications of the club’s decision.
