Manchester United paid a total of £14.5 million ($18.3 million) to sack manager Erik ten Hag, sporting director Dan Ashworth and other members of their football staff, according to the fallen English giants’ latest accounts published yesterday.

United, the 20-time champions of England, are currently a lowly 15th in the Premier League table following Sunday’s 1-0 loss at Tottenham, with only West Ham and Wolves between them and the relegation zone.

The hope for an upturn in results under new manager Ruben Amorim has failed to materialise since the Portuguese boss replaced Ten Hag, sacked in October just 116 days after United triggered a clause to extend the Dutchman’s contract until 2026.
