Erik ten Hag is reportedly confident that he will have a chance to impress Manchester United’s incoming hierarchy under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The beleaguered Dutchman is anticipating the chance to present his plan for the future, including a summer squad overhaul, according to The Sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That is despite incoming investor Ratcliffe reportedly holding talks with ex-Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ratcliffe’s protracted \u00a31.25billion investment has been delayed by ‘legal structural’ matters and Mail Sport reported\u00a0that his 25 per cent stake will be ratified next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ten Hag’s position has come under razor-sharp scrutiny following a 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth at Old Trafford and their whimpering exit from Europe at the hands of Bayern Munich.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is safe for now\u00a0and there is little appetite among the current hierarchy to sack him but results must improve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A mouthwatering clash against league leader Liverpool at Anfield awaits on Sunday, the sort of clash which can immortalise a reputation or crush.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Liverpool’s 7-0 thrashing of United in front of the Kop last March will live long in the memory and United know they need to avoid a repeat of that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
As per The Sun, Ten Hag’s first interactions with the new football operations leaders would likely be with director of sport Dave Brailsford and not Ratcliffe himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anthony Martial is out of contract in the summer and is among several players believed to be at risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

United’s incoming investor has reportedly met with Graham Potter and admires him\u00a0<\/p>\n
