Official : Ole Gunnar first job after Manchester United sack ,the man is back on track with this famous team ,as he dugs Manchester United.

 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.

It's understood that Solskjaer 

received £7.5m in compensation 

when he was sacked in November, 

while first-team coaches Michael 

Carrick, Kieran McKenna

 and Martyn Pert left Old Trafford

 in December.

Carrick chose to go after filling 

in as caretaker boss for three 

games. McKenna was appointed

 Ipswich boss and took Pert with

 him to Portman Road.

The £9m figure - less than half 

the £19.6m it cost United to sack 

Jose Mourinho and his coaching 

staff in 2018 - made up the bulk 

of £10m in 'exceptional items' 

according to the club's financial 

results which stated: 'This cost 

includes compensation to the former

 men's first-team manager and 

certain members of the coaching

 staff for loss of office.'

United's net debt rose to £494.

8m from £455.5m in the same 

quarter last year, but commercial

, match-day and merchandising 

revenue were up.

Meanwhile, football director John 

Murtough confirmed that United 

have begun their search for a 

new manager.

Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten 

Hag are the leading contenders.

Murtough said: 'We are now conducting

 a thorough process for the appointment

 of a new permanent manager 

who will take charge this summer, 

with the objective to get us back 

to challenging for domestic and

 European titles.'
