Manchester United will need to pay a high amount if they sack Erik Ten Hag.

Manchester United is looking to start over next season, which means players will likely be sold, and a change of staff could be in the discussion. Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has been rumored to be out of the club next season, with inconsistent results this season. The Dutch manager was close to receiving the sack earlier in the season, but now the club seems to trust the manager until the end of the season. As Ten Hag continues to produce inconsistent results with Man United, the club is making sure to take the right decision at the right time since sacking him could lead the club to pay a fee.

Ben Jacobs reports INEOS told Erik ten Hag that it’s up to him to prove himself; nothing is predetermined, and he’ll be judged in the summer. They also told him there are no guarantees that he’ll stay. Paul Hirst from Times Sport reports that Erik ten Hag is well respected among the Ineos hierarchy, and there is a feeling that he has not been helped by the structure surrounding him. However, there is an acceptance that he will be on shaky ground if Manchester United fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Times reports that it will cost Manchester United $12.7 million if they decide to sack head coach Erik ten Hag. Manchester United are 6th in the Premier League with 47 points and are eight points away from 4th place Aston Villa, who is in a guaranteed Champions League spot. Man United will play a quarterfinal game against Liverpool in the FA Cup this Sunday, and after the international break, Man United play Brentford away.
