Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United players are set to take a financial hit this summer as they fall short of Champions League qualification. Ten Hag, facing a 25% cut in wages due to contractual clauses, leads a squad poised for collective pay reductions. The club’s dismal league performance, currently placing them 16 points adrift from fourth, triggers this measure.
The looming prospect of a pay cut extends to potential compensation packages for Ten Hag, should the club opt for managerial changes post-season. With United’s Premier League standing at a disappointing seventh, their FA Cup semi-final victory, albeit shaky, provides temporary respite amidst mounting pressure.
Despite criticisms and speculation over his future, Ten Hag remains resolute, emphasizing his pursuit of silverware. Ahead of their clash against Sheffield United, he defends his team’s performance and champions a winning mentality.
As the season winds down, uncertainties loom over Old Trafford, with talks of managerial replacements swirling. However, for now, the focus remains on salvaging their campaign and securing silverware under Ten Hag’s guidance.
