Less than a week after British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe became a minority stakeholder at Manchester United, manager Erik ten Hag is concentrating on the club's next game against Nottingham Forest rather than being distracted with the new set-up.The Dutchman has yet to speak to anyone from Ratcliffe's INEOS group as he has been busy during the Christmas period, during which United defeated Aston Villa 3-2 on Tuesday (Dec 26) and then face Forest away on Saturday."I look forward.
They want to work with me, I want to work with them, we will have the conversations, the meetings," Ten Hag told a press conference referring to the INEOS group who will take over management of the club's soccer operations."I'm focused on the game so far, so I said no (to talks).
In this moment I don't want to have distractions. In the coming days, weeks, there will be time for us, then I'll know more."I think it's a good thing, it's very positive.
We are looking really forward to work together. INEOS wants to work with me in this structure and I want to work with them."The manager is also waiting on players to return from injury but not for the trip to Forest."It will be a similar squad as we had against Villa," Ten Hag told reporters."Mid-January we expect many players back.
