Sir Jim Ratcliffe has clarified that he is not responsible for deciding
Erik ten Hag’s future as Manchester United manager, stating that such decisions are up to the club’s management team. Despite rumors of tension and uncertainty following United’s poor start to the season, Ratcliffe emphasized that key figures like CEO Omar Berrada and Sporting Director Dan Ashworth, who have only been in their roles for a short time, are the ones tasked with assessing the situation.
This statement contrasts with the idea that Ratcliffe, as a high-profile co-owner, might have the final say on Ten Hag’s fate. However, Ratcliffe did express his admiration for Ten Hag as a coach while acknowledging that improvements are needed to restore Manchester United to their former glory.
