OMG: See Why Man Uited would be forced to pay Mourinho £12m if they sack him this season
Jose Mourinho is one of the favourites for
the sack after a miserable pre-season
Manchester United boss has been frustrated by
a depleted squad and transfers
Mourinho will take home a full year of his
£12m salary if he is sacked this season
It is claimed United inserted a clause after
issues with Louis van Gaal's pay-off
Jose Mourinho will
receive a huge £12million pay-off from Manchester
United if they sack him this season. The Portuguese is one
of the favourites among the bookmakers to be given the boot first following a
miserable pre-season and disappointing transfer window. And according to The Sun, Mourinho can expect to be paid
a full year of his salary if executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward decides he is
no longer the man for the job.
The 55-year-old signed a new contract in January, tying
him to the club until the summer of 2020 with an option to extend his stay
further. But the new report claims a clause was inserted into Mourinho's deal
which would ensure he does not receive the full two years of his mega wages.
A Manchester United source told The Sun: 'It
became quite a protracted affair when it came to discussing a final settlement
with Louis van Gaal. 'The club wanted to avoid a repeat of that again in
the future - especially as Jose earns far in excess of what he did.
'(Louis) Van Gaal held out for every penny but even
United have to draw the financial line somewhere with Jose.' Mourinho has been
left frustrated during pre-season with his squad seriously depleted due to
players arriving late after the World Cup.
He has signed young defender Diogo Dalot, midfielder Fred
and back-up goalkeeper Lee Grant, but is yet to strengthen his defence with
deadline day fast approaching.
Failures in the transfer market have led to tension with
Woodward, while Mourinho's bad mood is believed to have affected players during
their tour of the US.
