Mike Phelan is still taking home a salary from Manchester United, despite no longer being part of the club's first-team coaching staff and could continue to receive payment from the club until 2024.
The 60-year-old, who played in United's first ever Premier League title-winning side in the 1992-93 season, has been involved on the coaching side under a number of managers. The former Hull manager extended his deal until 2024 before current manager Erik ten Hag took the reins, and remains on the club's books despite his role changing.
After serving under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick last season, Phelan was linked with an ambassadorial role after Ten Hag's appointment. The current manager has appointed his own staff, with Alex Ferguson's former assistant Steve McClaren among those to move to Old Trafford, but Phelan has remained in limbo while continuing to be paid by the club.
