Former Manchester United coach threatens FIFA action over unpaid wages

As if there wasn’t enough drama surrounding Manchester United managers, a former coach has now threatened FIFA action over unpaid wages.

Former Manchester United coach threatens FIFA action over unpaid wages

Manchester United have endured extraordinary managerial turnover since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, with another major departure now expected.

David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim have all attempted to restore the club’s former dominance.

However, none managed to deliver another Premier League title, despite significant investment and repeated changes behind the scenes.

Michael Carrick initially appeared to offer a solution, guiding United to third place last season after replacing Amorim in January.

However, his first full campaign has unravelled spectacularly.

United have won just three of their opening 15 matches, leaving them 18th in the Premier League.

Despite a dramatic 3-2 victory against Roma and Sunday’s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, Carrick is now expected to be sacked.

Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada are preparing to recommend his dismissal during discussions with Sir Jim Ratcliffe in Monaco on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, another former member of United’s coaching setup has made headlines after raising the prospect of involving football’s governing bodies in a dispute over outstanding wages.

Former Manchester United coach threatens FIFA action over unpaid wages

Former Manchester United forwards coach Benni McCarthy has revealed that he and his technical staff have not received outstanding salaries from their current employers in Kenya.

McCarthy worked under Erik ten Hag at United between July 2022 and June 2024, helping the club win the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

He was subsequently appointed Kenya’s national team manager in March 2025.

Speaking during an exclusive interview with SportyTV, McCarthy revealed the extent of the payment dispute.

“The technical staff have received nothing,” he explained, adding that FIFA and CAF may eventually have to intervene.

Kenya’s players previously refused to train over unpaid allowances ahead of September’s qualifier against Eritrea.

McCarthy persuaded them to return, with most players subsequently receiving their money.

However, the coaching staff’s payments remain unresolved.

The 48-year-old insists he will continue fulfilling his responsibilities, with Kenya preparing to face South Africa on Friday.
