David Moyes is being sacked by Manchester United following a nightmare season in charge, but he won’t be walking away empty handed.

While many of us would simply be thrown out of the door with our P45’s if we were sacked from our jobs, Moyes is set to paid off for his failure.

According to various reports, the former Everton boss will be given a £5million by United in return for the termination of his contract.

Moyes’ deal still has five seasons left to run, but in failing to qualify for the Champions League this term, United officials can activate a clause that means they can get rid of the Scot – for just one season’s wages.

That adds up to £5million and it’s claimed that Moyes was made aware of this fate in February, when doubts started to grow over his future as boss.

Dutch manager Louis van Gaal looks increasingly likely to be taking up the reigns at Old Trafford to replace Moyes.
