Manager change could cost Man United much more than £21 million
At the end of October, Manchester United parted ways with Erik ten Hag and brought in Ruben Amorim. The combined cost of both operations amounted to around £21 million, but it is believed that the club may face much larger financial losses.
Details: Former Premier League club executive Keith Wyness believes that the true cost of the recent managerial miscalculation could set Manchester United back as much as €86 million. There is even a specific breakdown of the amount.
Quote: “I think in the end, United will be paying much more than £21.4 million. This will include the cost of the contracts. You have to consider the players Ten Hag brought in who will now be sold at a loss. You also need to factor in the prize money they've lost this season.
There are many factors to take into account to get the real figure. This situation has also caused many image problems for Ratcliffe, and it’s not just about the money. There are many side effects that will make this very expensive for United. I’ve seen one estimate that the total cost of the changes will be around £86 million, so let’s look at all the facts,” said Wyness to Football Insider.
