Erik ten Hag set to pay the price for Man United disastrous season [Full details]

Failure to make the grade this season will reportedly trigger a 25 per cent pay cut in the 54-year-old’s contract along with most of his squad.

Ten Hag is said to earn a £9million annual salary at Old Trafford, meaning such a slash in wages would see him pocket £6.75m next season if he remains in charge.

A drop in salary and the fact he would be closer to his contract’s June 2025 expiry should demand a lower compensation fee from Sir Jim Ratcliffe if United decide to part ways beyond the summer.

Ten Hag came under increased scrutiny due to the manner of United’s FA Cup semi-final win against Coventry City, which he branded “embarrassing” and a “disgrace.”

Winning the FA Cup didn’t rescue Louis van Gaal from the chop in 2016, and the M16 giants’ woeful Premier League and Champions League campaigns have sparked suggestions of a repeat.

For both the club and its players, the turbulent cycle of Champions League participation, or lack thereof, over the past decade has not only inflicted financial wounds but also impacted contracts structured around performance-based incentives.
