Billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is very close to buying 25% of Man Utd shares after nearly a year of negotiations with the Glazer family. It is still uncertain whether Ratcliffe will be able to take over the Red Devils before the beginning of next year, but at this time, Erik Ten Hag’s fate has been questioned by fans.
However, according to the Mirror, Ratcliffe has no plans to fire the Dutch strategist. According to the report, Ratcliffe is not prioritizing signing a new coach but will instead focus on cutting superstar salaries and improving facilities at Old Trafford and the training ground.
In fact, Ten Hag ended the Red Devils’ six years without a title last season, winning the Carabao Cup. This season, the injury problem has caused Ten Hag to lose many pillars. That is also a reason why Man Utd’s performance fluctuates.
In January, it is expected that Ratcliffe will support Ten Hag to bring in a few stars to thicken the squad and guide Man Utd to the top 4 race.
