Premier
League side Manchester United paid out £8.4million (about N3.8 billion) to
former manager Louis van Gaal and his coaches after they were sacked in May.
United are also understood to have written off £6.7 million (about N3.01
billion) on ex-Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger.
They have however not said the sum relates to the
midfielder. But it is understood he was only named in their domestic squad
because of Premier League rules and is very unlikely to play for United again.
The
Old Trafford club posted record annual revenues of £515.3m on Monday.
Van
Gaal and his coaching team were dismissed 48 hours after leading United to victory
over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final.
Assistant
manager Ryan Giggs subsequently left following Jose Mourinho's appointment as
Van Gaal's replacement.
