Erik ten Hag opens up on ‘very positive’ first meeting with Jim Ratcliffe

Ten Hag says he held a ‘very positive’ meeting with Ratcliffe.

Erik ten Hag described his first meeting with Sir Jim Ratcliffe as “very positive” but admitted he still has much to learn about the billionaire’s plans for Manchester United.

Ratcliffe’s INEOS group will assume control of footballing operations once his purchase of a 25 per cent stake in the club has been ratified in the coming weeks, and he has been in Manchester this week for a series of meetings with club staff.
