In May, former head coach Louis van Gaal and his assistants were paid £8.4 million in compensation by the "Manchester United" club. The contract with the Dutchman was terminated after the "Man Utd" team finished only fifth in the English Premier League and did not qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The fact that they won the FA Cup did not help the specialist. "United" also paid a sum of £6.7 million as they no longer consider Bastian Schweinsteiger a first team player. The former captain of the German national team was not included in the Europa League squad. "Man Utd" became the first country club to earn over half a billion pounds in a year - revenues jumped from £395.2 million in 2015 to a record £515.3 million in 2016.
