Manchester United Officials Calculate Compensation If They Fire Erik Ten Hag
JAKARTA - Manchester United officials seem to have lost their patience seeing the results of the match under Erik ten Hag not getting better.
The Red Devils leadership scheduled 48 hours after the match against Aston Villa or to be precise Tuesday, October 8, 2024, to determine the fate of the Dutch manager.
The Sun reported that Manchester United officials increasingly doubted Ten Hag's ability after only picking up one point from Aston Villa's home.
The result extended the minor trend of the club based at Old Trafford. In the last five matches in all competitions, Manchester United never won.
Looking at the start of the season, the Red Devils have only won twice, drew twice, and lost three times to seven Premier League matches in 2024/2025.

While in the Europa League, Marcus Rashford and colleagues never won, two draws against FC Twenty (1-1) and Porto (3-3).
Manchester United's last win came at the Carabao Cup when they beat England's League One (third level) team, Barnsley FC, with a score of 7-0 on 18 September 2024.
The series of results made the Red Devils officials furious. If the Dutchman loses his job, people like Gareth Southgate, Thomas Tuchel, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Graham Potter have been linked as replacements.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is the first name to replace Ten Hag for a while. The former Manchester United striker is the favorite of today's fans.
The problem is, the management is counting if it becomes Ten Hag. The club will pay big compensation for breaking the contract in the middle of the road.
According to Goal, Ten Hag could receive compensation of up to 17.5 million pounds if he was fired.
That figure will put Ten Hag in second place after Jose Mourinho for the largest manager compensation in club history.
Apart from that, Erik ten Hag also began to feel noisy with voices related to his future.
"We are disappointed internally. We know we have to play better. Especially, we need to score more goals," he said.
Manchester United are now in the 14th flight of the 2024/2025 Premier League with eight points. While in the Europa League this season, they were thrown to 21st with just two points.
