Man Utd v Newcastle: Pictures<\/h3>\n

It would cost Manchester United a pretty penny to get rid of Erik ten Hag at this stage of his contract, but the club has also been burnt badly in the past. Pressure is mounting on the Dutchman to instigate a run of positive results after Newcastle United dished out another thrashing on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The Magpies running out 3-0 winners in the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford compounded a miserable few days for the Red Devils, who were on the wrong end of the same scoreline when Manchester City came to town on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag is in a race against time to get his players firing, having lost eight out of his first 15 matches this campaign. But a reported \u00a315million pay-off will force United to think twice as they weigh up whether to cut ties with the former Ajax boss.<\/p>\n

Such a sum would represent one of the biggest pay-offs in football history, although it’s far from the manager at the top of the pile.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the \u00a315m it would take to pay off the final 18 months of Ten Hag’s contract would leave him seventh on the all-time list, narrowly ahead of Fabio Capello’s Russian severance package and that of Luis Felipe Scolari to leave Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Blues, they have become specialists in eye-watering splits with big-name managers. Antonio Conte leads the way with a mammoth \u00a326.6m back in 2018.<\/p>\n
