Manchester United's Manager Changes Cost Over €120m Since Ferguson
Manchester United have spent more than €120 million on managerial changes since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013, a bill bigger than Paul Pogba's transfer fee.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, Manchester United have struggled to find stability in the dugout. The financial price of that search has now come into focus. The total cost of the club's repeated managerial changes is reported to have passed €120 million.
A bigger bill than the Pogba deal
The figure looks even more striking when set against Paul Pogba's return from Juventus in 2016. The managerial bill has now overtaken the fee paid for the Frenchman. That deal set a world record at the time, so United have effectively spent more on changing coaches than on one of the most talked-about signings in their history.
A cycle that keeps repeating
The post-Ferguson era has seen David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Erik ten Hag all take charge at Old Trafford. None of them managed to build a lasting project. Each departure added to the financial strain and forced the club to restart its sporting planning. The numbers underline that the Premier League giants' problems go well beyond results on the pitch. They also reach into how the club is run.
