Erik ten Hag will earn a whopping £3million bonus if he can lead Manchester United back into the Premier League's top four and guarantee Champions League football for the club again.
The Dutchman's £9million-a-year salary pails into comparison to cross-town rival Pep Guardiola, with United's new boss earning half the amount the Manchester City manager is paid.
However, the 52-year-old's contract is packed with incentives, including the huge bonus he'd receive if Manchester United qualify for the Champions League.
According to The Sun, United are facing debts of around £90 million if they miss out on Champions League football once again.
Some of which would come from their £75million-a-season shirt sponsorship with adidas, where the club would have to forfeit £25million if they failed to secure Champions League football for a second season in a row.
There would also be losses in television revenue, prize money and gate receipts that would account for further millions.
The looming threat of Cristiano Ronaldo's possible departure from Old Trafford has also had a negative threat on United's current finances and could leave the club facing another six-figure loss.
A 'significant volume' of fans who have bought the Red Devils' new home shirt have wanted to have the Portuguese legend's name on the back.
The 37-year-old's image was a huge part of the promotional campaign for new kits, but it came well before Ronaldo decided he wanted to leave the club.
However, the club are now facing calls from supporters wanting refunds or replacement shirts, if the United number seven does leave the club.
A United insider said: 'People have been turning up at the megastore asking where they stand on a potential exchange if Ronaldo does go?
'United did right by supporters last year when he took over the No7 shirt, but with the greatest respect to Edinson Cavani, we’re talking completely different levels here.'
Fans who had bought Edinson Cavani shirts last season from United Direct or the megastore were granted an exchange, however the volume of replacements could be vaster this time around.

As a Chelsea FC fan I'm worried out USA tour did not go according to the plan and from where I'm standing I don't see Chelsea FC winning The Premier league trophy 🏆, The UCL is different as it's more about luck so if things go our way we can still compete but Barcelona look stronger this season which is what worries me in the UCL. Chelsea FC will surely qualify for Top 4 spot for that I am very very sure. Arsenal + Tottenham and Manchester united will find it very hard to qualify for top4 over 38 game season people think it's easy to play and win 70 % of your 38 Premier league games but I can assure you it's and I see Chelsea FC winning over 75% of their Premier league games which should be enough to secure top 4 spot Tottenham is stronger they have kept their best players and their best manager Chelsea FC doesn't look stronger due to tensions between those players who wanna leave like werner and Azpilicueta and their manager but Chelsea FC have kept Thomas Tuchel who now have got enough Premier league experience and also Chelsea FC have kept Kante ,Kovacic, Jorgihno and Thiago Silva which according to me should make Chelsea FC competitive. Chelsea FC let go of Rudiger but they replaced him with Koulibaly which was very Important. Andreas Christensen was never a Chelsea fc material so I don't see a reason his departure should worry Chelsea FC. Emerson is back Alonso was kept Chillwell is fit and we pray he mustn't go into injury again RWB? Hudson odoi is back and Reece James was kept despite Real Madrid rumors which was very important again. Chelsea FC should add Kounde but if they lose him to FC Barcelona it won't be the end of the world we still have got world cup ahead of us so I'm sure we'll see more new soccer stars to buy in January. This won't be a normal season as football will be paused due to world cup in Qatar so a lot of ups and downs will happen to all top teams it will be normal just like during Covid_19 pandemic
Nottingham forest Team to watch this season

for your kind information first assist for Messi was from Ronaldindo
You can't answer simple questions and you believe your so called information of who gave who his first assist should be relevant for a discussion... I don't have time for people who beat around the bush please... think whatever you want to think... it is irrelevant.

what has this got to do with what we are saying?? Are Madrid players small players? Are Juventus players small players? they reached two champions league finals before he joined them? Is Man utd a small club??

Of course you will say this since all you look at by the end of the match is goals scored or assists...

Ten Hag should be told the truth not to expect the 3million pounds bonus as Man U Board, Supporters, EPL coaches and all of us (pundits) know sincerely that Man U cannot make the top 4 this season ! Even if Ten Hag gets the whole Ajax team, Premier League, and Coaches are far superior technically, tactically and strategically. (sorry, I am a fan of Jose Mourinho)

Selling Maguire will not profit united anything because Maguire is worthless in market value.
