Jim Ratcliffe Refuses To Guarantee Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United Future

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe refused to guarantee Erik ten Hag's future at Old Trafford as he admitted the club is not "where it should be" under the troubled boss.

Ratcliffe had a chance to quash reports that Ten Hag is in danger of the sack when he spoke ahead of United's crucial Premier League trip to Aston Villa on Sunday.

But the 71-year-old's downbeat assessment of United's predicament was hardly encouraging for Ten Hag as he fights to save his job.  "I don't want to answer that question.

I like Erik. I think he's a very good coach but at the end of the day it's not my call," Ratcliffe told the BBC on Friday. Ten Hag's side are languishing in 13th place after winning only two of their first six league matches.
