Manchester United’s current manager, Erik ten Hag, is facing the possibility of a significant reduction in his salary should he decide to continue his tenure at the Premier League club beyond the conclusion of the ongoing season.
According to ESPN, Ten Hag is expected to see a 25 percent decrease in his earnings at Old Trafford due to the team’s anticipated failure to secure a spot in the Champions League.
Despite signing a three-year deal with Manchester United in 2022 after departing from Ajax, the Dutch coach is under scrutiny as the team struggles in seventh place in the league standings.

The gap between United and a top-four finish is a substantial 16 points, adding to the pressure on Ten Hag.
Reports suggest that the club’s new football management, spearheaded by INEOS’s Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is actively considering alternative options to replace Ten Hag.
Potential candidates being considered include Gareth Southgate of England, Thomas Tuchel from Bayern Munich, Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton, Thomas Frank from Brentford, and Gary O’Neil from Wolves.
