Brailsford might become a big part of Manchester United now Ratcliffe’s Ineos group have taken over the club. The British billionaire trusts the new director and could have a big say on whether Erik ten Hag remains as manager or not.. Ten Hag did well in his first season at Old Trafford but hasn’t lived up to hopes this year. Speculation is growing as to whether he will keep his job, especially since Ratcliffe hasn’t publicly backed Ten Hag.. Before Sunday’s match, Ten Hag said he wasn’t worried about the outside noise. He believes the team is going in the right direction.. “Sometimes you have setbacks and we have had a lot this season,” he said. “It’s about sticking together, you have to face it together, make sure you are on one page together.. “Noise is always around Manchester United, don’t get distracted by it, know together where we are going. And how can we improve to always give your best every day and then finally you will achieve your aims.”. Try MUFC Pro NOW for free.
