Erik Ten Hag remains... hooked on the manager's chair at Manchester United, despite the fact that the results are hopeless. And the team is in 12th place in the Premier League. A possible answer to the question of why he has not yet been sacked by the club's management may be the large amount of money the Dutch manager is entitled to collect in this case.

Ten Hag-so-if he is removed from the bench he will have to collect the amount of 19.25 million euros as compensation!

Despite the "red armada" completing the worst season in United's history last year, the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City gave the former Ajax boss time credit and a renewal until the summer of 2026.

Dutchman Erik Ten Hag earns €10.8 million per year, while it is unknown if the Dutchman has any other release clause in his contract.

However, United are quite used to paying fat compensations while searching for years for the next... Sir Alex Ferguson. When Jose Mourinho was sacked in 2018, his and his coaching staff's settlement was €19.6m, while Louis van Gaal's in 2016 was €8.4m.

Ten Hag's answer

Meanwhile Eric Ten Haag, listening and reading the English press, recalled the number of titles he has won, thus giving the "answer" to his critics at Manchester United!

Ten Hag clearly answered his doubters: "You're forgetting something, I have eight titles in six years!"

Paul Scholes

The legend of Manchester United, Paul Scholes, criticized Eric Ten Hag and even strongly, who emphasized, among other things, that the "red devils" have not had a coach for two years!

He specifically mentioned: "When you bring in footballers, you expect them to be much better than what you already have. I don't see football players coming which have a big difference. De Ligt came in for Maguire, so to speak, but not much of a difference there. Not an upgrade over Maguire.

We're two years into United and, as I said, they're a team without a manager. The players looked dead, they looked like 'I don't know what to do', there is no enthusiasm for the game and that can only come from the training ground."

As each of us understands, the next few days will be particularly difficult and critical for the Dutch technician...
