The amount of money it would cost Manchester United to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now been revealed in a new report on the coach’s future.

Solskjaer is under more scrutiny than ever in the Manchester United hot seat. The 5-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool was a low point in his reign. This came after a heavy loss to Leicester last weekend as well.

Questions are now being asked of Solskjaer both inside and outside the club. United officials have always pledged their faith in him, but Liverpool’s result is believed to have softened their stance.

Solskjaer’s job seems secure enough for now. However, a tough series of matches is coming. This has led to allegations that he may only have three matches to save his job.

United will have a lot of things to consider when considering his dismissal. One of the main aspects that they will have to consider is the financial aspect.

According to a new report from The Sun, Man United will have to pay Solskjaer £7.5m of severance payments to sack him now.

This equates to his full salary for a year, which is the fifth highest in the Premier League. Only Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Brendan Rodgers and Marcelo Bielsa earn more than him.

Of course, any club in United’s stature could pay such an amount. But club officials remain divided over Solskjaer’s survival or departure.

Therefore, the next few weeks will be crucial in determining the Norwegian’s future at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer has been training as usual in light of his return to play against Tottenham at the weekend. It will be followed by matches against Atalanta and Manchester City, which could be pivotal to what decision United will make.

Is Antonio Conte the right potential successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United?

Alternatives are considered in the case of Solskjaer’s cyst

The report states that Manchester United have a four-man contingency plan to replace Solskjaer.

Antonio Conte is said to have many admirers in the UN hierarchy, despite reports indicating two concerns.

The former Chelsea boss is currently unemployed after leading Inter Milan to the Italian league title last season before coming to terms with his financial situation.

Also on the shortlist is Zinedine Zidane, who previously worked with Real Madrid. However, he is not too keen on taking the job.

Alternatively, they could turn to two coaches on the job – either Eric Ten Hag of Ajax or Rodgers of Leicester. But neither path will be easy.

It shows once again why any decision about Solskjaer’s future is more complicated than just a matter of its outcome.
