#2 Negative: The big payoff
The Portuguese’s exit is set to cost Manchester United a huge amount of money. There is a clause in Mourinho's contract that if he is sacked before the end of the 2019-20 season, he will get £12 million.
That would mean that United has to cut down the transfer budget, and there may be issues in signing a new manager with his salary, signing bonuses, and other additional costs involved.
It's a catch 22 situation for the United board, and they have to look at the cons if they are going to sack Mourinho.
