Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s decision on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been confirmed amid reports of a possible summer sack.
The INEOS billionaire has begun head-on with his transformative agenda at Manchester United with some high-power recruitments to oversee the renewal at Old Trafford.
The future of Erik ten Hag, under the new hands incharge of United’s sporting and footballing operations, has been a hot topic.
There have been speculations Sir Jim Ratcliffe will likely part ways with Erik ten Hag following his unconvincing trail with the club this season.
The narrative was reinforced with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s move to sign Dan Ashworth from Newcastle United as the club’s new sports director.
Dan Ashworth is said to be a close associate to England national team manager Gareth Southgate and was reportedly set to recommend the England boss for the United role should he seal the move to United.

Southgate has debunked the reports linking him to the Man United job but there are still uncertainties on the future of Erik ten Hag as United manager.
Now, according to reports from Sky Sports, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will not sack Erik ten Hag at the end of the season and is ready to continue with the Dutch from next season.
This means Erik ten Hag will see through his three-year contract with Manchester United as he will enter the last lap of the contract with the club next season.
The under-pressure gaffer has struggled to get United back to gear this season. The team is far off the top-four race and have crashed out of the Champions League.
Despite recent assurances by Sir Jim Ratcliffe as reported by Sky Sports, there are projections Erik ten Hag could still be shown the way out in the summer should United miss out on Champions League football next season.
