Erik Ten Hag Sacked By Manchester United<\/h2>\n

Just as Gary Neville<\/a> prophesied in his post-match podcast, Manchester United have officially parted ways with Erik Ten Hag<\/a> following their worst ever start to a Premier League<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n

Their fourth defeat of the season against West Ham after just nine games sees United all the way down in 14th, which was evidence enough for the board to cut ties with Dutchman.<\/p>\n

Despite guiding the Red Devils to two domestic trophies in as many seasons, a disastrous start to the campaign follows on from their worst ever Premier League finish last season.<\/p>\n

United hierarchical overhaul laid down a clear marker of their intentions this season, which also saw the arrival of five fresh faces in the dressing room.<\/p>\n

However, the new board have been clear since their arrival that Ten Hag simply couldn’t afford another mediocre finish in the league, even in spite of his cup competition success.<\/p>\n

How Much Will Sacking Erik Ten Hag Cost Manchester United?<\/h2>\n

Manchester United’s new INEOS owners have been keen to curb the haphazard spending of boards gone-by, so from a fiscal perspective this decision won’t have been taken lightly.<\/p>\n

Their cost controls even saw them cut Sir Alex Ferguson’s ambassadorial role<\/a> from the budget in a brutal, but perhaps necessary snap decision.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of Erik Ten Hag’s departure they will be scrambling to install a new manager, although hiring from within – likely through interim manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy – may aid with their frugal approach.<\/p>\n

This may be particularly pertinent given how early in the season this sacking has taken place; any external hires will likely incur huge compensation costs.<\/p>\n

They will also likely be forced to pay Ten Hag the remainder of his contract, which after an extension in the summer was set to run out in 2026.<\/p>\n

As one of the highest paid managers in football<\/a>, Ten Hag will cost United at least the \u00a36.5m-a-season in salary, but beyond that the Dutchman may be entitled to severance payments.<\/p>\n

Away from behind-closed-doors contractual agreements, another turbulent period for United will only harm their commercial pulling power off the pitch.<\/p>\n

Uncertainty as to what may transpire this season may also cause prospective players to think twice about joining – something that may harm any plans in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
