Sir Jim Ratcliffe give deadline for Erik ten Hag to make decision as Man United can’t wait for new manager

Despite a win over Liverpool last weekend, United manager Erik ten Hag is still under pressure at Old Trafford. The club’s new part-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, will decide ten Hag’s fate before the season ends.

The Manchester club’s current season has been a complete failure; they are in sixth place in the Premier League and have a little chance of advancing to the Champions League.

Earlier in the season, the Red Devils were eliminated from that tournament at the group stage after placing last in their group. In the Round of 16, their defence of the Carabao Cup crown was thwarted by Newcastle.

The FA Cup is United’s last chance at a title, but City are heavy favourites to take home the hardware.

The performances, in which United are often outplayed, are an even more cause for concern for United supporters. To keep his job till the season ends, Ten Hag will have to demonstrate a complete turnaround, and that may not be enough.

Decision on Erik ten Hag imminent, according to Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe
An article in Football Insider states that Erik ten Hag, the Dutch coach, will have time to prove himself before Manchester United’s decision on his future is decided before the 2023–24 season ends.

After revealing his stake earlier this year, Ratcliffe has continued to alter the footballing structure at Old Trafford, and the harm may already have been done.

United are ready to welcome three very accomplished individuals to their coaching staffs: Omar Berrada from Man City, Dan Ashworth from Newcastle, and Jason Wilcox from Southampton, all brought in by the Ineos CEO.

Ratcliffe needs to make a quick decision on Ten Hag’s future as manager because the market for managers is going to be very competitive this summer with clubs like Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Napoli all looking to hire new coaches. After that, the playing squad can be considered.
