“The Future of Ten Hag is in Ratcliffe’s hands” — Fabrizio Romano

Manchester United may have escaped defeat at Aston Villa on Boxing night, however the landscape at the club is about changing and that also could include the club’s manager, Erik ten Hag, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United’s landscape sees a seismic shift as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the recently appointed minority owner, asserts his authority over crucial sporting decisions within the Premier League club.

Ratcliffe, the chairman of INEOS, finalized a monumental deal last week, acquiring a significant 25 percent stake in United for a staggering $1.3 billion.

In a notable development, the British billionaire has assumed a commanding role in steering the football matters at the club.

Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shed light on Ratcliffe‘s substantial influence, revealing that every significant sporting decision, including player transfers and even the fate of manager Erik ten Hag, requires Ratcliffe‘s approval.

Romano’s tweet on the matter emphasized the level of authority Ratcliffe’s Ineos holds:

“Manchester United must consult INEOS on every player transfer whilst their investment is being approved by Premier League authorities.

“The same applies to the futures of Erik ten Hag and John Murtough: INEOS must be consulted ahead of any decision.”
