“We are on the same page”: Erik ten Hag does not seem to have to fear for his job at Man United after a “constructive meeting” with Ineos owner

Trainer Erik ten Hag has a good feeling about his first conversation with Jim Ratcliffe, the billionaire who has owned 25 percent of the shares of Manchester United. The boss of chemical giant Ineos will explicitly intervene in the football affairs of the top club. He has been in Manchester in recent days for talks with the top of the current number 8 of the Premier League.

As owner of OGC Nice, Ratcliffe was known for daring to make rigorous choices. After coming clean last summer, he surprised friend and foe by putting the only 34-year-old Francesco Farioli in front of the group. Nice is now in second place in the French Ligue 1.

It is speculated that Ratcliffe will also not hesitate to intervene in Manchester if necessary. Ten Hag ended the calendar year with an extremely disappointing defeat against Nottingham Forest (2-1), which once again brought his position into question in England.

“Very constructive meeting”

“It was a very positive conversation,” Ten Hag nevertheless reflected during a press conference. “We have spoken for hours and we are on the same page on many topics. So it was very positive. I think it was a very constructive meeting for both sides and we look forward to working together.”

Ten Hag has received a lot of criticism in recent months for United’s poor results, which has already lost fourteen matches this season. United have already been eliminated from the Champions League and League Cup and have lost sight of the Premier League’s best teams. United will play an away game with Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Monday.
