Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expressed indifference towards Sir Jim Ratcliffe's delayed confirmation of his managerial position for the next season. Despite speculation about his future due to a challenging season, Ten Hag, with a contract until 2025, remains focused on his role and is confident in the support from the new ownership.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the recent partial owner with a 27.7% stake, is planning changes at United, including the appointment of Omar Berrada as the new CEO and pursuits of sporting directors like Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox.
Ten Hag emphasized his commitment to the ongoing process and stated that he doesn't care about external discussions, given his three-season contract. The Dutchman acknowledged talks with Ratcliffe and others in the management team, expressing a strong belief in his abilities.
Despite a recent 2-1 loss to Fulham, leaving United eight points away from the top four, Ten Hag remains focused on team development and the upcoming FA Cup fifth-round match against Nottingham Forest.
While Ratcliffe is making organizational changes, including potential additions to the recruitment team, Ten Hag does not feel like he's on trial and instead prioritizes winning every game and focusing on team performance.
He affirmed the team's commitment to staying in every competition and maintaining a consistent approach, emphasizing both short-term and long-term goals in team development.
