Manchester United revealed on Tuesday that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his backroom staff were paid £9million in compensation - as the club stepped up its search for a new permanent manager.
United announced that overall revenue for the second financial quarter ending December 31, 2021 was up 7.3 per cent on the same period last year.
However, operating profits fell by 88.9 per cent from £48.5m to £5.4m due largely to an increase in player wages following the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, and the pay-outs to the coaching team.
