Manchester United Manager Erik ten Hag Confident About Relationship with Ineos

In an unexpected twist, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expressed his confidence in building a strong relationship with new co-owners Ineos. The key figures from Ineos, led by company chairman and chief executive Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have not been contacted by Ten Hag yet.

The purchase of a 25% stake in the club was announced on Christmas Eve, surprising both fans and pundits alike. However, despite not having any direct correspondence with the influential individuals involved in this significant deal, Ten Hag seemed optimistic about future collaborations.

“We are really looking forward to work together,” commented Ten Hag during a recent press conference. “Ineos wants to work with me within this structure, and I want to work alongside them as well.”

The proposed appointment of Sir Dave Brailsford as club director has already created excitement among supporters. Interestingly, Brailsford attended United’s thrilling 3-2 comeback win against Aston Villa at Old Trafford earlier this week. Nevertheless, neither he nor Ratcliffe have had the opportunity to meet Ten Hag since the announcement of their involvement.

“The packed Christmas schedule left no room for distractions or conversations,” explained Ten Hag when asked about potential meetings. “However, there will definitely be time for us to connect in the coming days and weeks.”
