Manchester United faces a hefty financial burden if they decide to sack Erik Ten Hag.
Reports from The Telegraph suggest the cost could be up to £14 million, a significant amount considering the club’s current efforts to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.

Ten Hag, who had his contract extended to June 2026, is currently earning around £9 million a year.
Transfer Spending Adds Pressure
Ten Hag’s total transfer spending exceeds £600 million during his time at Old Trafford, including a £200 million splurge this summer.
Despite these heavy investments, Manchester United has endured its worst-ever start to a Premier League season.

Manchester United sits 14th, raising questions about whether the spending has paid off under the Dutchman’s leadership.

Recruiting a Replacement Isn’t Cheap

If United decide to part ways with Ten Hag, bringing in a replacement won’t be easy.
Names like Thomas Tuchel and Roberto De Zerbi were previously considered, but prying them away from their current clubs would come with hefty compensation costs.
This adds another layer of financial complexity to an already delicate situation.
