Manchester United are counting the cost of making a managerial change after just nine league matches.
Erik ten Hag was dismissed in late October with the side floundering in the bottom half of the Premier League after just three victories.
Ruben Amorim was appointed earlier this month, but according to football finance expert Kieran Magurie, the total spend in carrying out the managerial change amounted to £21.4m.
According to Maguire, it cost United £10.4m to sack Ten Hag while they had to fork out another £11m to recruit Amorim from Sporting.
The news comes after United’s decision to put up the cost of all members’ match tickets to £66 for the remainder of the season was labelled “offensive” by the club’s leading supporters’ group.
Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (MUST) revealed the club had informed the fans forum that changes to certain ticket policies will take effect immediately “and that this price will apply for kids and over-65s as well as adults”.
United and Everton fans are set to stage a protest against ticket prices ahead of their Premier League clash on Sunday.
