Many millions, the compensation money for Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United

Manchester United are not having the best football moment and, after losing in the classic with Manchester City, they had to be eliminated from the English League Cup. On Sunday, Josep Guardiola's team defeated those led by Erik Ten Hag 3-0, who was immediately questioned for subsequent matches. However, it will not be easy for the United leadership to make the decision to remove him from his position, because they would have to pay him a significant sum of money as compensation.

Now, the Red Devils suffered another defeat at home. Newcastle took a 3-0 win at Old Trafford. The opening of the scoring was achieved by Miguel Almirón. The Paraguayan is one of the figures of the 'Magpies' and scored the first goal of the game at 28 minutes. This blow once again calls into question the continuity of Ten Hag, who spoke to Sky Sports after the defeat.

"We know that this is not good enough. I have to take responsibility. I feel sorry for the fans. The players will stand up. They stay united, it was seen that they tried. We have to do it as a team. That is the only way", expressed the Dutch coach after another hard blow in the season. In addition to the poor results, Ten Hag is also being questioned that some of his reinforcements are not performing well. For example, André Onana and Rasmus Hojlund are not meeting expectations.

The incredible compensation that Ten Hag can receive

While rumors of a dismissal are gaining strength, the numbers on Erik Ten Hag's contract have emerged. According to media such as Sport, the former Ajax earns almost 11 million dollars per year. As his contract is valid until June 2025, if Ten Hag is fired now, Manchester United would have to pay him the remainder of the contract as compensation. That is, the spectacular figure of 18.25 million dollars. With the string of rout defeats for United, rumors that indicate that the Dutch coach could be fired increased. That is why the possibility of Graham Potter, who was pointed out by The Sun as the possible successor to Erik Ten Hag, is gaining strength.
