LONDON: 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.
They suffered a dismal 3-0 home defeat against Tottenham last weekend and blew a two-goal lead in their 3-3 draw at Porto in the Europa League on Thursday.
