Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has spoken about his future at the club amid ongoing challenges and takeover discussions. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, ten Hag emphasized that he is focused on the team’s progress and doesn’t require assurances about his position from prospective investors like Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
“It’s not necessary,” ten Hag stated during the press conference. “We are focused on our goals for this season, and we are working hard to improve our position.”
Since taking charge at Old Trafford in April 2022, ten Hag guided Manchester United to a third-place finish in the Premier League during the 2022-23 campaign. However, the team has faced difficulties in the current season, finding themselves lower in the league standings than anticipated.
With ongoing discussions about potential investment from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is reportedly seeking a minority stake in the club, questions have arisen about the future direction of Manchester United. Despite this, ten Hag remains committed to his role and the team’s objectives.
“Our focus is on the pitch,” ten Hag added. “Whatever happens off the pitch is for the club’s management to handle. My job is to prepare the team and achieve the best results possible.”
Manchester United faces crucial fixtures ahead, and the manager is determined to steer the team back to winning ways. The supporters are eager to see improvements as the season progresses under ten Hag’s leadership.
