Manchester United is reportedly set to pay five million pounds to sacked manager David Moyes 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.
Metro.co.uk reports that the wages total to five million pounds and it is claimed that the former Everton boss was made aware of this fate in February, when doubts started to grow over his future as manager of the Old Trafford side.
The Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal looks increasingly likely to be taking up the reigns at Old Trafford to replace Moyes, the report added.
