Estimates: Manchester United’s managerial and sporting changes have cost more than £100 million

British media estimates say Manchester United has spent more than £100 million on appointing and dismissing managers and sporting officials since Alex Ferguson left in 2013. The total could exceed £108 million once the procedures related to Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival are completed.

According to sources, the club will pay around £7.4 million to terminate Pochettino’s contract with the United States national team, and the cost could rise if compensation for members of his coaching staff is included. The cost of Michael Carrick and his staff’s departure was also estimated at no less than five million pounds.

The estimates include compensation for managers and sporting officials, as well as amounts paid to clubs to secure managers; these figures are not final and are not a comprehensive official statement from the club. The costs cited include £10.4 million to dismiss Erik ten Hag and his staff, £19.6 million for José Mourinho’s departure, and £8.4 million for Louis van Gaal’s departure.
