There remains uncertainty surrounding Erik ten Hag's future as manager of Manchester United following a recent summit meeting of the club's executive committee. The discussions, which took place in Knightsbridge at the offices of Ineos, focused on the Dutchman's position amid ongoing performance concerns. The meeting, a routine gathering for the executive committee, was led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of Ineos and the club's largest single minority shareholder. He was joined by key figures including Omar Berrada, the chief executive, Dan Ashworth, the sporting director, and Jason Wilcox, the technical director. Despite the discussions, no definitive conclusions were reached regarding Ten Hag's status, leaving the possibility of a managerial change still on the table.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the co-owner of Manchester United, has contributed to the ongoing speculation surrounding Erik ten Hag's future by stating that the decision regarding the manager is “not my call.” While in Barcelona, following the success of the Ineos Britannia sailing team, which recently won the Louis Vuitton Cup to qualify for the upcoming America’s Cup, Ratcliffe was questioned about his involvement with the football club. When asked about Ten Hag, he was somewhat evasive, saying, “I don’t want to answer that … he’s a good coach.” His comments have left fans and analysts pondering the stability of Ten Hag's position at the club.
