The Dutch manager, sacked just a day after a 2-1 loss to West Ham in October, left the club with a payout of £10.4 million, which also covered his coaching staff.
Ten Hag had recently signed a contract extension until 2026, amplifying the expense of his dismissal.
Meanwhile, bringing Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon cost the club an additional £11 million in registration fees, marking a significant investment in their managerial overhaul.
However, these financial moves have coincided with controversial ticket price hikes, with matchday rates rising to £66 for members and the removal of concession pricing for children and seniors.
Fan Outrage Over Ticket Increases
Manchester United supporters have reacted angrily to the new ticketing policy, calling it a “step backward” in relations with INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s leadership team.
The Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (MUST) has condemned the decision, criticizing the club for burdening fans with the financial consequences of years of mismanagement.
MUST’s statement urged the club to reconsider the policy, citing fans’ unwavering support despite underwhelming performances on the pitch.
A protest is planned outside Old Trafford during Sunday’s match against Everton as fans express their frustration with the club’s direction under its new leadership.
