Ratcliffe plans to stand by Ten Hag for now as Manchester United start review

Decision on manager will only follow thorough deepdive unless results are dire

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag 

Erik ten Hag is secure at Manchester United for the foreseeable future unless he oversees a run of particularly dire results, because the immediate priority for Jim Ratcliffe and  Dave Brailsford is to get to the bottom of what is required to turn the club around.

Ratcliffe and Brailsford are first intent on analysing the makeup of the playing squad, executive and staff, the club’s structure and how revenue is invested in the team to understand the best way to achieve their ambition of making United domestic and continental challengers again.
