The decision to hand the boss his P45 after days of dithering will cost a pretty penny though.
Not that United have been holding back on their managerial budget for the last 13 years.
They’re already nearing the £100MILLION mark since Sir Alex Ferguson left his post in 2013 – and it is set to soar past that figure if, as expected, Mauricio Pochettino takes over the Old Trafford hotseat.
It’s been a managerial graveyard of failures and disappointments in Fergie’s wake.
But Pochettino looks set to pick up the pieces of the team in 18th with just one win from ten games.
The Argentine has reportedly agreed in principle to leave his role as USA manager for Old Trafford, though it looks to set United back a whopping £7.4m.
In the last two years, 322 staff members have been cutfrom the United payroll to cut costs.
But in the meantime, the club has been paying millions in severance packages to coaches and executives.
SunSport took a close look at the receipts to see just how United could splash out an estimated £108.2m on bosses in 13 years.
Mauricio Pochettino‘s exit clause is thought to be around £7.4m with US Soccer, but the costs may not stop there with his backroom team valued at around £5m.
Right-hand man and assistant coach Jesus Perez, first-team coach Miguel D’Agostino and goalkeeper coach Antonio Jimenez are not set to leave Poch’s side any time soon.
The quartet have stuck together in every job that the Argentine has had since his first Espanyol role in 2009.
There is also sports scientist Sebastiano Pochettino, who has traipsed alongside his dad since his Tottenham days.
And with 13 years of toil and trouble, Carrick’s dismissal could rubber stamp the £108m bill – Sun.
