Manchester United paid £10.4million (€12.5m, $13.1m) to Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff in compensation following his dismissal last month.
The Old Trafford club’s first quarter results, published in full on Wednesday evening, also reveal they paid more than £21m to change managers.
United paid Sporting CP a total of £11m to appoint Ruben Amorim and six members of coaching staff.
Since the sacking of David Moyes in 2014, United have now spent an estimated £70million in compensation to dismissed managers.
Ten Hag became the fifth permanent United manager to lose his job since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson last month. Ralf Rangnick also received compensation following the end of his interim spell in charge in 2022.
Ten Hag was dismissed in October despite United triggering a one-year extension clause in his contract during the summer, following the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
United won just three of their nine Premier League games under Ten Hag at the start of the season before the 2-1 defeat at West Ham United which cost him his job.
Amorim began work as Ten Hag’s successor earlier this month, drawing 1-1 in his first game in charge at Ipswich Town on Sunday.
United face Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday evening, which will be Amorim’s first game in charge at Old Trafford.
